+The PCI0646U controller is known to be buggy with Ultra-DMA transfers, so
+Ultra-DMA is disabled by default for this controller. To enable Ultra-DMA,
+use the PCIIDE_CMD0646U_ENABLEUDMA option. Ultra-DMA can eventually be

The AMD756 chip revision D2 has a bug affecting DMA (but not Ultra-DMA)
modes. The workaround documented by AMD is to not use DMA on any drive which
does not support Ultra-DMA modes. This does not appear to be necessary on all
drives, the PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA option can be used to force multiword DMA
-on the buggy revisions. Multiword DMA eventually be disabled on a per-drive

The bug, if triggered, will cause a total system hang.
