Add nodma options
Some very slow qemu instances would eventually trigger DMA timeouts, let's give a way to disable DMA there, it does not actually slow down operations anyway. * linux/src/drivers/block/ide.h (ide_drive_s): Add nodma field. * linux/src/drivers/block/ide.c (do_identify): Do not call dmaproc(ide_dma_check) when nodma is 1. (ide_setup): Add nodma option.
