I tried to activate it on a 2.2.x kernel. In fact, there's even a bit of scaffolding left in the source from a previous attempt (by Alan I guess). All you get are time outs on the dma channel. A lot of people have tried and this seems to be the general result.
Feel free to try though. If you get it to work, I'd be very interested.
