[PATCH] pata_it821x: (partially) fix DMA in RAID mode

Code intended to check DMA status was checking DMA command register. Moreover firmware seems to "forget" to set DMA capable bit for the slave device (at least in RAID mode but without ITE RAID volumes) so check device ID for DMA capable bit when deciding whether to use DMA and remove DMA status

ext2 on flash memory

Hi all :) I was wondering: is there any reason not to use ext2 on an USB pendrive? Really my question is not only about USB pendrives, but any device whose storage is flash based. Let's assume that the device has a good quality flash memory with wear leveling and the like... Thanks a
