Right now with PIO transfers we can jam the box up horribly as lock IRQs
off when the transfer is from high memory. We still have other things we
need to fix in this area to really make a difference but this is the
buffering side of the fix (the state machine enable/disable irq stuff is
also needed)

Currently uses kmalloc - which seems to work best, but trivial to
allocate at init time if wanted
