True. We should add additional sanity / hacks to isa_dma as well. It may be that some folks it works for, and some it fails for due to bugs in contigmalloc that have gone undetected, or at least uncorrected. I have an older DELL system that I may bring up, if there's enough memory in it to run -current. It's the least obnoxious of the old hardware that I have knocking around. But it may be gated by finding working PATA disks and/or that PATA <-> SD adapter I have somewhere... Warner
