AFAIK Falcon sound system and SCSI use DMA, but DMA for SCSI is disabled from
atari/dev/ncr5380.c since 1.57 (there can be DMA HW issues with some Falcons).

Adding it before wdcintr() call does not do better; couple of stray interrupt
71 error messages and many wdc:0:0:0: lost interrupt errors and
freezing. If I place "MFP->mf_iprb = (u_int8_t)~IB_DINT;" after wdcintr() call
behaviour is just like with current atari/dev/wdc_mb.c (kernel prints lost
interrupt error messages as early as I mount partition from ATA drive)... I'm
wondering why this happens? So it looks that handling MFP->mf_iprb in
wdr_mb_intr() is not enough ?
