+.Sh NAME
+.Nm geodeide
+.Nd AMD Geode IDE disk controllers driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "geodeide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the
+.Tn AMD
+Geode CS5530A and SC1100
+.Tn IDE
+controllers,
+and provides the interface with the hardware for the
+.Xr ata 4
+driver.
+.Pp
+The 0x0002 flag forces the
+.Nm
+driver to disable
+.Tn DMA
+on chipsets for which
+.Tn DMA
+would normally be enabled.
+This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around
+problems where the
+.Tn IDE
+controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

+.Xr wdc 4
+.Sh BUGS
+The SC1100 controller requires 4-byte aligned data transfers and
+cannot handle transfers of exactly 64 kilobytes.
+.Pp
+The CS5530 multifunction chip/core's
+.Tn IDE
+section claims to be capable of
+.Tn UDMA
+mode 2
+.Pq 33.3MB/s
+but in practice using that mode swamps the controller so badly that
+.Nm
+limits the
+.Tn UDMA
+negotiation to mode 1
+.Pq 25MB/s
+so that the other functions of this chip continue to work.
+.Pp
+The
+.Tn IDE DMA
+engine in the CS5530 can only do transfers on cache-line
+.Pq 16-byte
+boundaries.
+Attempts to perform
+.Tn DMA
+on any other alignment will crash the system.
+This problem may also exist in the SC1100 since the CS5530 was its
+direct predecessor, and it is not clear that National Semiconductor
+fixed any bugs in it.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver will reject attempts to
+.Tn DMA
+to buffers not aligned to the required boundary.
+The
+.Xr wd 4
+disk driver will back off to
+.Tn PIO
+mode to accomplish these transfer requests, at reduced system performance.
