I would put it more strongly: *DON'T* bounce-buffer my EISA machine --
I don't want to waste the CPU cycles and memory on it since my EISA
bus accesses that memory nicely by itself.

I realize there are some broken EISA motherboards out there that don't
support full 32-bit addresses.  These boards are the special case.  I
don't know if there's any coherent probe which can detect these, so
bounce buffers can be turned on as needed.  The ugly hack might be to
just disable bounce buffers on EISA unless a "secret" option is turned
on in the kernel config.

The point being: please don't break working EISA drivers with bounce
buffers.
