This option enables support for the Promise 20246, 20262, 20263,
20265 and 20267 adapters.
+ Known issues:

Not sure this is useful, because the reports of UDMA failures are lower
than most other reports. Should IPV6 have "known issues, mysterious timer
list corruption" for example which occurs far more. Not do we list 'no
atapi dma' in the help for the IDE SII driver ?
