The macide driver doesn't support anything with DMA hardware either. In
fact, no m68k Macintosh has both DMA capability and an IDE controller.
However, we do support the basic DMA routines on the main m68k platforms.
It's just not used for IDE. I think the proposed change was to require
that the DMA routines be present, not that the IDE ports actually have
to have a DMA capability.

I agree. There definitely needs to still be support for IDE ports that
don't have DMA capability.
