Patches 4-6 look like they may handle issues I've found with migration
in DMA requests on PPC g3beige and mac99 machines. Unfortunately due to
alignment issues, the macio controller has implement its own versions of
some of these routines, so should parts of these also be applied
hw/ide/macio.c aswell?
