i think Sylvians should be update in some days. I hope.
you can pull his rep. without problems on current 2.6.15-rc4.

DMA is a problem, because the implementation from Freescale use binary
data, and has some dirty points. This would never be included in the
mainstream kernel. Sylvian has included the new DMA .. works fine for
FEC.

If someone get this new implementtion running with AC97 or PCI would be
fine.
