[Solved] Dell D520 DMA

Hi, decided to install arch on my laptop, and finally took my time to do it.
I've built a custom kernel but I cant get DMA to work, any suggestions to what I should enable?

Kernel I am trying to build is 2.6.23.1. I'm using a D520 laptop from Dell, lspci: http://pastebin.com/m1620c248
I am not sure if these will help, but better with more info then no info;
dmesg: http://pastebin.com/m537e3423
.config (note, bloated currently): http://pastebin.com/m2864a860

This isnt about the DVD/CD-rom DMA as most google-results is about.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:
I think this subject has been solved, cant say for 100% though.

For future reference, this works but cant verify that its not bloated (written of from another computer, spelling errors might occur):

Device Drivers --->
  < > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support --->
  SCSI device support --->
     <*> SCSI disk support
     <*> SCSI generic support
  <*> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers --->
     <*> AHCI SATA support
     <*> VIA SATA support
     <*> Generic ATA support
     <*> Intel PATA MPIIX support
     <*> Intel PATA old PIIX support
     <*> SiS PATA support (Experimental)
     <*> VIA PATA support

Feedback to making this more slim is appreciated.
