Thanks. Reverting the below might fix it.

Frankly speaking, I don't see how that can be possible. I haven't touched any *real* checks in ide_allocate_dma_engine(), so it should fail regardless of my patch. I'd rather supposed that pci_alloc_consistent() had failed...

From: Sergei Shtylylov <sshtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Release the DMA engine for the custom mapping IDE drivers also (for
example, siimage.c does allocate it in both I/O-mapped and custom-mapped
modes). Remove useless code from the error path of
ide_allocate_dma_engine().
