Because the 2.0 code doesn' t use the DMA chipset as 2.1 does. The only chipset that locks in such usage (disable_dma()enable_dma() inside irq handler after the DMA transaction) is the VIA xxx one so I think that is VIA xxx buggy and not all other chipset that are buggy because they works fine. I never read specs though.
