FOO/GOO we dont need i guess ...

the u32 looks a bit weird. Why not unsigned int ?

also, are the new dma_map_*() API compatible with the old one? I.e. does
dma_map_*(...,0) and dma_map_*(...,1) map to the right thing? If yes
then perhaps dont change 'int direction' to 'u32 flags' at all but just
rename 'direction' to 'flags' and be done with it.

also, this conversion:

+ enum dma_data_direction direction = dma_flags_get_dir(flags);

would be unnecessary if callers passed in the bitmap already, instead of
'flags'. 0 and 1 would still map to the right thing i think.
