A quick hack (breaks other chips, needs more work for proper mapping on all
chips):

And PDMA works on I/O mapped 53C400A (HP C2502)!

Nice performance improvement (although it's slower than the memory-mapped
53C400):
# hdparm -t --direct /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
 Timing O_DIRECT disk reads:   2 MB in  3.99 seconds = 513.57 kB/sec


And it even fixed the IRQ:
