   It is important that we all work togather, but there has been at
   least one other occassion that this code has been nuke by accident.
   And yes, pissed off never worked again since the begin of the hand
   off of IDE between 2.1.112 and 2.1.122..  Russell, I am in your
   corner to help fix this.

This was an intentional nuke.  And I am working offline with Russell,
Jakub, and Alan to address the issues.

I am very sure that making the new (and documented) interfaces work
properly for him is going to be preferred to sticking the flush hacks
back in.  I say this, because the new interfaces will create a
situation where properly written PCI drivers of any type will work
for his, and every, platform wrt. DMA issues not just the ones where
he happens to sprinkle his dma flush calls into.
