Played around with this a little more today, and got the DVD drive DMA working 
under a 2.6.12-rc4-git kernel (after a fashion). 

By disabling the IDE_GENERIC support in the kernel, the ata_piix driver can 
pick up the port. However, it doesn't have support for PATA/ATAPI devices 
unless a couple of #defines are added to libata.h. 

However, I believe this code is still in development, so think we may just 
have to wait a while until it's production ready (certainly saw some errors 
when running this test setup today).

Regards,
Jon.
