Michael: Unfortunately there are more issues than DMA to consider. On SCSI, for example, devices can become bus masters, and can thereby initiate communication to other devices and/or the main system if directed to do so. Even if the SCSI commands themselves can be validated (which isn't perfectly true, but it's close), you can't always tell what the device will do in response to such a command.
