This is about time we make decision on this. If we're gonna go DMA-for-everything way, we should lift 16 byte default masking for -mm and -rc's as that only makes debugging difficult and try to blacklist offending devices and controllers individually. My primary concern is about not achieving enough test coverage and isolated cases where it's difficult to tell whether it's the device or the controller. e.g. Loading recent distro on an ancient and/or strange machine, scratching head while cursing and giving up. Unfortunately, I've seen similar things happening often enough (and I did so myself more times than I'm proud of). Only very small fraction of problems actually reaches developers.
