It isn't that hard to patch -stable to include the driver before you make
a new kernel.  The location of the patch files is in the archive.  Send me
a private message if you can't find it.  It's quite simple.

On the other hand, I don't know of any cases where the DMA driver messed
up either, so perhaps we could all get together and make a decision as to
whether it is "good" enough to go into -stable yet.
