Yes, we can.  And I have been asking Intel to add this to their
x86 ATA host adapters for years.  And I have asked that it be
added to the proposed T13 Host Adapter standard.  So far no luck.

This is entirely a host side DMA engine or host side driver
software problem.  It has nothing to do with the way ATA/ATAPI
DMA is defined (and implemented by most devices).
