DMA got broken a while back in two different ways:
1) a change in the behaviour of disable_irq() to wait for the interrupt
to finish executing causes us to deadlock at the end of DMA.
2) a change to avoid modifying the scatterlist left the first transfer
uninitialised.
DMA is only used with expansion cards, so has gone unnoticed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
