Hello,
I am running Linux on a PC104 board from a compact flash card. Because
the physical DMA lines are missing on some of the compact flash
carrier cards, I would like to be able to boot with DMA disabled and
to enable DMA in a later stage if desired (and supported by hardware).
The problem is

> the ide driver rather upset when it tried to then use the non existant
> dma lines).
