I can't find a CONFIG_PCI_DMA_DEBUG to enable in 3.1-rc6. Did you mean 
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG?

And as David Woodhouse mentions, the 3ware card houses my root 
filesystem - is there a way I can debug without unloading the module? If 
not I guess I can try to work around it but it would be difficult.

Chris
