Your DMA is at "using_dma =1(on)" which means it is active. Here is my 
/dev/hda with a 30g Maxtor 7200rpm

/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  3 (32-bit w/sync)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 3738/255/63, sectors = 60058656, start = 0
