Ok, I tried the patched kernel, with a modification to ata-dma.c to
reduce max DMA size of the second channel to 16k.  ccd devices span
on these two channels, and one of them is used as /usr/obj and another
for /home.  I observed no errors during `make -sj3 buildworld'.  I also
 tried to enlarge the stripe size from 1152 to 64k, but newfs barfed
on it (Invalid argument), so I could only use 65535.

Cheers.
