This error has been seen by others as well. I've never been able to
reproduce this on any of my disks and, unfortunately, could not squash
the bug it before 1.1 went out. The `dma: error' indicates some bad address
was presented to DMA to/from causing an SBus timeout or protection violation.
I don't know why it happens.
