I must agree with this. My experience over the past 6 years or so
is that the few IDE failures seen have all been random in nature.
That's why I just added a config option to not-enable-DMA
rather than attempting to maintain a blacklist.
The flaw in this is that UDMA should always be used regardless,
as it ought to be more reliable than DMA or PIO due to the 16-bit CRC.
But no big deal. Things are working fine as is, I think.
