The IDE core honestly warns you that the controller doesn't support DMA for
accesses abobe 137 GB. Where's the problem?

500 MB/s on disk reads?! That's totally wrong expectaion. What I am seeing
seems quite adequate speed for UltraDMA. And cached reads don't measure disk
transfer speed but rather your CPU bus/memory bandwidth.

The latter reports DMA timeouts -- now that's an error indeed. But the report
is against 2.6.11. :-)

I suggest this to be resolved INVALID.
