Ah, OK...  Will move to ppc queue next time I rediff that stuff...

Speaking of mac_esp, there's a pending patch for NCR53C9x.c fixing PIO
breakage in esp_do_data().
		/* read fifo */
		for(j=0;j<fifocnt;j++)
			SCptr->SCp.ptr[i++] = esp_read(eregs->esp_fdata);

is not a good thing to do when we set .ptr to (char *)virt_to_phys_(....).

It works mostly by accident on e.g. 840AV, until you get a minimally
non-trivial memory mapping.  The same thing happens on the write side.
Fix is obvious (find phys_to_virt(SCptr->SCp.ptr) in the PIO branch
and use it).  I've put that in -bird, will show up in tonight's snapshot...

BTW, what's the situation with DMA on 840AV?  If you have any patches
to test, I've got such box and being what it is, it's not tied by any
work...
