Subject: SB600 64-bit DMA BIOS misconfiguration (formerly RE: [PATCH 2.6.34]

It seems it was solved by a DMI whitelist, but if it is a BIOS configuration issue, I think it would be better if it could be detected directly instead by reading the configuration directly from the device and correcting it if possible. Is that possible?
