Hi, I have a system where I have a simple IDE controller that sits on a local bus without bus master dma capability, and thus no dma_mapping ops defined for the device/bus. pata_platform works great for me, with the exception of using the generic ata_port_start which tries to do a dmam_alloc_coherent. Looks like it doesn't need to allocate a prd table at all, so replace it with a dummy function instead.
