Thanks. Please notice 0701 0701 words above -- it means that this
device reports both SWDMA0 and MWDMA0 enabled at once (which results
in IDE layer failing DMA tuning).
The patch below should fix it and it would be quite interesting to try
it on vanilla kernel to see if it helps with unexpected IRQ problem.
However this still doesn't explain the regression fully -- we had
ide_id_dma_bug() checks since Dec 2007 (and equivalent ide_dma_verbose()
ones since almost forever) while 2.6.26 (which works fine) is much
younger than that. I suspect that there are some other kernel changes
coming into the picture (Power Management?). Would it be possible
to try 2.6.2[78] and/or bisect this problem further?

Subject: [PATCH] ide: relax DMA info validity checking
There are some broken devices that report multiple DMA xfer modes
enabled at once (ATA spec doesn't allow it) but otherwise work fine
with DMA so just delete ide_id_dma_bug().
