This seemed to fix the problem for me as well. I have had DMA turned on since then, and I have experienced no file system corruption anymore. Thanks!
Maybe the help message for this kernel option (CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS) should report in big blocky letters that disabling it might cause major data loss with some drive/bios combinations?.. I was not aware that I was touching such a sensitive parameter when I rebuilt the kernel, and the help message didn't warn me in any way.
