I'd like to implement in the libata driver, unless you believe that is

a) For any ATAPI DMA, If the transfer size is not a multiple of 16
bytes, switch to PIO for this command.

No need to do this in old driver anyway since the *IDE* core only uses DMA for block commands like READ and WRITE.
Not sure about libata.
