I don't think so, but I have this following patch still pending:

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/patch/maybe/sdata-dma/

Erik also provides a way to enable DMA in plan9.ini,
as part of 9atom.

Personally, I ended up with this more drastic approach::

http://www.9legacy.org/9legacy/patch/pc-sdata-dma-lite.diff

It always enable DMA by default.
