Another interesting thing is a hack I took from OpenBSD to not skip

to Ultra/33 (from /66 originally) and then produced no further errors.
Eh, this might make it slightly better but it certainly doesn't fix
anything, as the early interrupts still happen, just maybe a little less
frequently. I suspect the downgrade from Ultra/66 to Ultra/33 may have
had more to do with that... I'm not sure why all the other DMA errors
don't make it downgrade?
