Default to disabling PCI DAC as this option appears unsafe on amd64

The driver will typically report PCI System error when something goes
wrong. The relevant interrupt is not masked any more and the driver
can thus be disabled.


Can this interrupt be used at runtime to detect that DAC isn't working?
