Subject[PATCH/RFC] SPI core: turn transfers to be linked list
Greetings,

the patch attached changes the way transfers are chained in the SPI
core. Namely, they are turned into linked lists instead of array. The
reason behind is that we'd like to be able to use lightweight memory
allocation mechanism to use it in interrupt context. An example of such
kind of mechanism can be found in spi-alloc.c file in our core. The
lightweightness is achieved by the knowledge that all the blocks to be
allocated are of the same size. We'd like to use this allocation
technique for both message structure and transfer structure The problem
with the current code is that transfers are represnted as an array so it
can be of any size effectively.

Vitaly
