Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. Nvidia ppl, any ideas?
FLUSH is used regularly. We really need to fix this.


I reiterate my opinion :) ... We should remove ADMA support from sata_nv. It's only in a few chips, it's not appearing in any new chips, and nasty problems have lingered since ADMA support was introduced.

Definitely sounds like we should disable ADMA by default for 2.6.24-rc, too.
