It's my opinion that the GENERIC and INSTALL kernels should disable DMA
for all atapi cd(4) devices. I've had sufficient grief with misbehaving
CD-{ROM,RW} drives that I do this routinely here.

A flags value of 0x0ff0 should be sufficient to make just about every
atapi cd drive on the planet work "Out the Box".
