No automatic DMA with VIA chipset + CDROM on recent kernels

hi

With the VIA IDE chipset listed below, DMA is off by default on my DVD-ROM and
CD burner attached to the secondary channel (as hd[cd]) on recent kernels.
DMA works fine after an "echo using_dma:1 > /proc/ide/hd[cd]/settings

The .config is attached. This has been tested up to 2.4.20-rc1. I haven't
tried .20 final, as I couldn't find anything related in the changelog.
