I mean it doesn't crash the system during intensive read/write operations. It
has something to do with limiting the max bk per request to 7.5 (hwif-

They are really small changes. It's the one I mentioned on the first e-mail
and this one, that was suggested by Andre Hedrick on another post:
if(is_sata(hwif))
{
+ drive->id->hw_config |= 0x6000;
if(strstr(drive->id->model, "Maxtor"))
return 3;
return 4;
}

No, I'm not. Sorry. I'm look for more information. But dma is working with my
SiI3112A, everything is stable, so maybe it should be enabled by default for
this chipset.
Also, there's a change missing in this patch. The PCI id for SiI1210SA is
missing in 2.6.x.
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SII_680 0x0680
+#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SII_1210SA 0x0240
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SII_3112 0x3112
Anyway, thank you for taking a look at this.
