    Okay, I tested this the hard way -- the root of one of my machines
    got trashed. The controller used was a PDC20268 (Ultra100TX2), the
    disks (with two partitions of equal size on each forming a raid0)
    are IBM and WD. Soon after the kernel came up, it started spitting
    messages like 'DMA disabled' and 'No DRQ after WRITE has been issued',
    after which the machine froze entirely. Rebooting w/ an alternate
    kernel revealed massive fs corruption with the superblock completely
    overwritten.

    *** Everybody please treat this patch with extreme care. ***

    Reiserfs people, this unfortunate event also made me find out about
    the inability of reiserfsck 3.6.3-pre1 to rebuild the node tree --
    the program pretends to work just fine but the in-kernel fs code
    barfs when it's to operate on a repaired fs. 3.x.1b was able to
    get the job done for me, though.
