I think they are not.  The relevant part of the block diagram for the
460EX looks something like this:

      +-----+
      | CPU |
      +-----+
         |
 +---------------+
 |      BUS      |
 +---------------+
    |         |
 +-----+   +-----+ 
 | DMA |   | RAM |
 +-----+   +-----+
    |
 +------+
 | SATA |
 +------+

The DMA-SATA link is private and ignores the address, which is the only
reason the driver can possibly work (it's programming a CPU virtual
address there).

>From the Atmel doc:

  In Table 17-1 on page 185, all other combinations of LLPx.LOC = 0,
  CTLx.LLP_S_EN, CFGx.RELOAD_SR, CTLx.LLP_D_EN, and CFGx.RELOAD_DS are
  illegal, and causes indeterminate or erroneous behavior.

Most likely nothing happens, but I think it ought to be fixed.  In fact,
I have a patch already.

Come to think of it, I have an AVR32 dev somewhere.  Maybe I should dust
it off.
