Additionally, I have researched the history of the event and made a few
more tests.
The last kernel that worked flawlessly is from the 3.7.10 series.
I tested with the 3.7.10-400.fc19.x86_64.debug kernel.
The first kernel afterwards - the 3.8 series - introduced problems with
DMA-API, "… device driver failed to check map error".
An example that follows shows the skge module brokenness in its current
state.
The only thing that is produced is a timeout.
The same result was achieved with the 3.11.0-0.rc6.git1.1.fc20.i686 kernel.

Signor Greg you are supposed to be very resourceful guy, especially in
matters concerning the hardware, so please if you can set aside your
valuable time and help us finally resolve this issue.
