To be honest, I expected to see the patch from Ivan go in.

He came up with the solution to disable scatter-gather for pci dma, after I
sent a patch which justs worked around the page boundary cross bug for
ide-dma on the miata/pyxis. Disabling SG for PCI DMA on miata is no problem,
as we can directly map a 2GB window of memory into PCI space.

A second patch also made sure it works for ISA (which also support 32bis on
pyxis), so the floppy controller is happy again.
This second patch is the only thing I see when having a quick look at the
2.4.18pre3 patch, and Ivan should be credited for it as far as I know.

Is this an oversight? Or is there seom magic bit switched which I overlooked
which switches off SG PCI DMA on pyxis?
