Hey,

Is anyone else seeing messages about DMA alignment on their console?

	ad0: non aligned DMA transfer attempted

I'm getting a lot of these messages. The source is
sys/dev/ata/ata-dma.c, line 1103:

if (((uintptr_t)data & ch->alignment) || (count & ch->alignment)) {
ata_printf(ch, device, "non aligned DMA transfer attempted\n");
return -1;
}

I'm getting a lot of these, most seem to have appeared when using cvs
to update my source and ports layouts. There doesn't appear to be a
negative impact (im considering reboots/data loss as negative and
performance as secondary).

Any suggestions on what I should/could do about this, if anything.
There doesn't seem to be a mention of it in the ata manual page. Other
information available on request.

Thanks
