Nope, this is not a correct fix. It enables a set of DMA commands not
available on the K8M800, also it makes the via IRQ handler just report
"Handled" when in fact the device keeps firing 200 000 or so interrupts
per second.
I'm 99.99 % convinced that this is a hw bug, and it also appears in the
KM400 chipsets. When VIA was asked about it they replied that IRQ
functionality was never verified in the K8M800 since the windows driver
never used it. They only use IRQ for video capture transfer, and there
is no video-in on K8M800s. Other unichromes with the same IRQ register
interface work fine.
Having said that, it's not impossible that there may be a hidden
register somewhere that makes it all work.
The K8M800 irqs have been turned off in newer versions of the openChrome
2D driver to work around this issue.
