Tejun has some pdc_adma hardware.. ;)

I have a single sata_qstor board here somewhere,
and with luck will finally reinstall it next week
to test this stuff.

It's not normally a fun board to use, because the stupid onboard
BIOS extension adds about an extra 30 seconds to the BIOS boot sequence.

Cheers
