are you sure this is a DMA problem.  there are lots of 
places in the kernel that return Ebadctl.

| Yeah.  DMA helps a lot on venti formatting.
| However, I saw this ominous message on my console when
| installing another tip9ug host on VMware ESX 3.0 Server
| which only supports Buslogic SCSI adaptor.
| 
| 	init: starting /bin/rc
| 	echo: write error: bad process or channel control request
| 	echo: write error: bad process or channel control request

| I guess someone tried to turn DMA on for the SCSI drive and failed.
