>From the manual:

  DMA block and burst transaction sizes are critical for DMA operation.
  (Also see the definition of "DMA transfer".)  These sizes should be
  selected properly to ensure error-free bus transfers. It is required
  that the DMA write burst transfer does not cross the 8192-byte Data
  FIS boundary, because the Transport Layer maintains the DMA state for
  the duration of the Data FIS transmission.
