Description: Turns on DMA for your devices on boot-time
 This script is expected to change drive parameters on
 given bus at system boot, using hdparm tool.
 .
 It was designed to be used on machines that boots with
 DMA mode off for disk drivers (no matter how you configure
 your kernel). Since doing hdparm ... by hand everytime
 your machine goes up may be annoying a bit, here you got
 the servant for this.
 .
 Script uses (and therefore requires) /proc to determine
 presence of given device (so it safe to stay with
 default options trying to play with all four devices).
 Because I've experienced serious problems with my CD-RW
 device when hdparm was used agains it (it freeze the
 system when used) I added a small check to ensure only
 'disk' media are affected. It's easy to disable it anyway.
