The IDE subsystem in linux has a setting labelled unmaskirq
which always defaults to zero. But on all the machines I can
get my hands on I set it to one because it makes the system
smoother under high disk load.

I've never had a problem with this. Why does it default to
off? What system s actually have a problem with this?
