Hello,

After searching through mailing list archives, it appears that there is
support for DMA bus mastering for IDE controllers in -current.

Are there any plans to move this to -stable at some point?  I would sure
be interested in this kindof support for 2.2.5, as I'm sure others are.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do in the mean time. I
understand that having this support helps performance a great deal.

Thanks,
Jay
