Uhm, no -- read again:

	On the Tyne, *ALL* ISA dma needs to be bounced.

All buffers, before the card is told about them, go through an
interface that determines how they need to be bounced. Be that "not
bounced" or "copy into bounce buffer" or "set mmu up specially" or
"setup dma mmu specially".

When the requests are done, the same thing happens in the reverse
order.


And, since we have bounce buffer support, people can use your
machines.  Since you don't, they'll bitch about it.  And next week,
about ATAPI or bad serial IO.
