bounce buffers not supported yet, because xen doesn't have an interface
to request memory in a specific range (this means that DMA on ISA won't
be supported), but I've left the code commented out because xen will
likely provide an appropriate hypercall in the future.

This is important for more than just ISA DMA. PCI DMA needs them on systems with more than 4G of RAM, if the device doesn't support dual address cycle.
