I've just completed an upgrade of my 3.0-current system from
mid-December 1996 to now.  I'm running an aha and an ahc, have
BOUNCE_BUFFERS enabled, yet I get a lot of messages like:

Jul 28 22:44:34 freebie /kernel: aha0: DMA beyond end Of ISA: 0x3fcad14
Jul 28 22:44:42 freebie /kernel: aha0: DMA beyond end Of ISA: 0x227bd14
Jul 28 22:44:42 freebie /kernel: aha0: DMA beyond end Of ISA: 0x3cc9d14

I haven't looked at the code yet, but it seems that there's something
funny here.
