A little quiet contemplation and gnome number 387 suggests trying the following
(and providing more detailed information such as the last message printed before
the DMA message). Stuff a BUG() before the panic in BAD_DMA (aha1542.c) if needed
to get a good trace.

Please report success/failure/change.
