I've heard various warnings that the OctoRAM may be incompatible with
DMA peripherals (such as AST's video digitizer) in some configurations
(possibly only if configured for more than 4Mbytes).  Could somebody
who knows for sure clarify this?  Just which OctoRAM configurations
don't properly support DMA, and what if anything can be done about it?
