and/or what kind of tests would be appreciated.

I reviewed the 374 code a bit further to see what might be causing this
and found the slave channel end of DMA handling was using the wrong port
I think.

This now passes all my stress tests Alan. No more "Interrupt disabled" or dmesg storms.
I put the HPT Rocketraid 1540 (HPT374) back in a box and connected 4 200GB ata drives to it using SATA-PATA bridgeboards as before. It looks to be rock solid now.
