This patch has worked for me when using dma on ide, and when using the
multwrite path. If you turn on kiobufs with the kio mount option, you
have to use dma, the multwrite path will panic your system. We are
working on the complete fix.
i.e. if you setup a system using
hdparm -d0 -m16 /dev/hdX
you cannot currently use the kio mount option.
