No, no, it's not workaround of course.
If I believe word of my colleague (I believe), 440BX chipset must have such
capability. (To convert burst-read (aka cache line fill) on host bus
to burst-read transaction on PCI)
I do not have enough time to validate his word right now, but does this
behavior sounds so strange ?
