Not necessarily true.  One of my 3.0-current test boxes spits these
errors out all over the place if I compile a kernel with the DMA
option on the wdc* controllers (flags 0xa0ffa0ff), yet if I remove
this option (flags 0x80ff80ff) it'll run fine for days under
extreme disk load [various make world's, news server code testing,
swap partitions almost maxed out, etc, etc..]
