The problem is read not write from my investigations. I posted a patch
to this list a coupld of days ago which gives a printk if we stop
the dma although it is still running. This is the normal behaviour
on the Amiga as the DMA engine will not stop running until we stop
it. On the Indy/Indigo2 with the HPC the DMA stops when no data is
coming so this is definitly a BUG() case. I have no clue why
this only happens on I/O load.

Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?
