Two comments:
* I would like to find a device that's compliant with the spec, and test
the patch, before committing.
* DMADIR not only includes a bit flag indicating its presence, it also
moves all the DMA capability bits from their standard places. You'll
have to audit every place that reads dev->id[]'s mwdma/udma masks and
make sure they look at the DMADIR-special-case location, when DMADIR is set.
