In fact it is definetly not a plan9 issue... If qemu fails hosting plan 9, it affects plan 9 but there is little to be done unless we communicate with the qemu dev team.
Plan 9 is not the only os having problems with DMA access through qemu. I am myself a moron... All I know is that the issue exists, I don't know why... (But it would be very appreciated if an explanation is given) One thing I've thought several times is that perhaps qemu-ide specific drivers need to be done. Many hosted OSs need custom made drivers to be used with a virtualizer. I am sure a lot has been discused about this on the list. I'll try to do a quick scan about it later.
