Well, it appears that I might have solved the data corruption problem I 
was experiencing with si/dma.  It seems that flushing the cache before 
the DMA operation was complete wasn't quite enough.  Flushing it 
afterwards seems to be needed too, although I will admit that I was a bit 
too paranoid to do a heckuva lot of experimenting, so I may be sort of 
over-doing it :-)

In any case, I copied files around, they compared fine.  So, deciding to 
live on the edge, I let it boot into multi-user, and it seems to have 
build the kvm databases fine, etc.  Boy, this machine is like greased 
lightning now :-)

I'll whack on this some more and follow up.
