true, but ...

the "ie1" VME board has local RAM on it.   all the DMA that the "ie" chip
does is between the chip and the local RAM.    the processor must map this
RAM into kernel memory and use something like bcopy (wcopy actually) to 
move data between main memory and the VME board.    so, there shouldn't
be any DVMA involved with the "ie1" card.

as I told mike yesterday in an email, I checked my "ie1" card (which is 
in a 4/260) and it configs just fine with -current.    so my guess is
that either mike's card is configured wrong, or there is a quirk (bug) 
with the code and the 4/110 processor that is causing this problem.

one thing to check is the px03 and px04 VME jumpers which should both
be "OUT" for the "ie1" card.

cheers,
