This uses another one of @Mellvik's ideas - that of dropping the relatively large set of DMA access routines and replacing them with programming the DMA chip directly from the DF driver. This saves ~500 bytes of kernel text and works well because no other devices use or will use DMA. (Even the HD direct driver uses programmed I/O).
The DMA programming is done within the
setup_DMA
routine and borrows from the simplicity found from the Minix OS source.
