Modular IDE Build Failing Without Modular Generic PCI bus-master

[Fred Feirtag]

Under 2.4.20, "Generic PCI bus-master DMA support"
could be built into the kernel (modular was never an option),
and IDE could link modular, as for use in an OS-less
NFS/Samba file server.  Is modular IDE with DMA still broken,
since Generic PCI bus-master DMA support can't be a module?
