thank you very much :-)
is it going to become the default in future kernel releases?
You're welcome.
It's been that way in the -ac kernels for a while now, but Linus hasn't put it into his kernels yet. Perhaps he's waiting until work begins on 2.5, rather than break an existing interface in 2.4. Anyway, it's entirely up to Linus, so I'm just guessing here. :-)

DMA support in cs5530 IDE driver?
Can anyone report success or failure with enabling DMA for the CS5530 IDE driver? I can get my system to crash or at least hang pretty reliably by using hdparm to turn on DMA while reading an MPEG-2 movie from my hard disk drive.
The hard disk drive is the only rotating drive on the system.
Hardware: GCT Allwell set top box
CPU: National Geode 266MHz GXM
IDE controller: CS5530 Geode companion chip
Linux: 2.4.3
Disk: IBM Deskstar, 46.1 GByte
Any comments or suggestions appreciated
Thanks,
Michael

It's in the 2.4 kernels from RedHat (like the one shipped with SeaWolf) So if you update you distro you'll see it for a while.
I thought the plan was to move this out of /proc and to say /etc where config info like this "belongs". Did this change?
