I feel it's better to drop patch 13, even though it's a bit of a pain, 
to avoid leaving non-working code in the tree (even though it is 
currently unreachable).

It would be nice to drop command support in pcl816 if there is no DMA 
channel, since it's currently broken due to the switch in 
pcl816_ai_cmd() always picking one of the DMA transfer modes even if DMA 
isn't being used!
