Sorry, I made a typo. I meant 3 (three) DMA channels. My SB is
getting 3 channels. Look at the message below again.

You see: DMA 1,5 and then on the next line DMA 0. DMA 0 doesn't
show up in /proc/dma either. There must be a bug somewhere.

I've CC'd this back to the kernel list as I've received a bunch
of personal replies and don't want to individually address each
one about my typo of "2 DMA" channels when I meant "3 DMA
channels".
