As a final aside, this is another case where the hardware docs for this

actually supposed to be reading that register in ADMA mode or not. I
sent a query to Allen Martin at NVIDIA asking if there's a way I could
get access to the documents, but I haven't heard anything yet.

Obviously, NVIDIA's response is disappointing, but thank you for putting the time in to debug this problem. Definitely sounds like a hardware defect, I'm just glad there's a workaround.

Will we see this fix in 2.6.20?

Hopefully, assuming it actually does fix the problem for those that have been seeing it..
