Only include Programmed I/O (PIO).
This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the DMA code.
Please note that PIO transfers are slow (compared to DMA).
+
+ Also note that not all devices of the 43xx series support PIO.
+ The 4306 (Apple Airport Extreme and others) supports PIO, while
+ the 4318 is known to _not_ support PIO.
+
Only use PIO, if DMA does not work for you.
