Subject: DMA finally works! Thanks!

Now that I'm using -pre7, DMA finally works on my Intel 845G controller
that was being such a pain in the ass.

Someone out there, possibly Andre, rules. Great work.

I did not touch -pre7 directly, maybe Alan Cox filtered some goodies.

I filtered out the PCI changes and the pci_enable_bars code. So its my
work, but Andre's explanations about what we should be doing

Just an fyi, with -pre7 the onboard IDE controller works, but the onboard
audio driver (810-compatible) does not.
With -p437-ac3 the 845G's IDE controller is broken again (no more DMA), but
the onboard audio (810-compatible) is fixed.
