Agreed.
There are a few other things I'd like to do in this area while we're
at it (I'm happy to do the work, not trying to offload it to David
or Thomas):
(1) make the nodac flag a per-device flag. Set for every device
under one of the affected VIA bridges, or for all PCI devices
if the nodac command line option is used
(2) move that flag into the common struct device (or the to be
designed dma struct hanging off it in the future) and make that
bit handled in common code as there is a common Xilinx host
bridge with a 32-bit dma limitation
(3) kill of the forcesac option, which was a strange performance
tweak back in plain PCI days, which probably didn't even work
as expected to start with.
