    Subject[PATCH 00/13] dmaengine redux
    Date
    The dmaengine subsystem collects and advertises dma channels for two classes
    of users in the kernel, memory-to-memory offload and traditional
    device-to-memory DMA. The original design was driven by the memory-to-memory
    case and is starting to show its limitations now that more device-to-memory
    DMA users are being planned. The primary difference between the two classes
    is that memory-to-memory offload is very amenable to channel sharing and is
    tolerant of dynamic channel changes. Compare this to the device-to-memory
    case where a channel must be dedicated to a device and may have
    platform-specific reasons why it cannot talk to a different device.

    This rework allows channels to be targeted to a public (mem-to-mem) pool or be
    reserved for an exclusive private (dev-to-mem) allocation. See [PATCH 1/13]
    for documentation of the changes. A nice side effect of the rework is:

    24 files changed, 679 insertions(+), 1108 deletions(-)

    All review welcomed, especially around the dma_slave changes, or performance
    impacts of dma_find_channel.

    These patches are currently on async_tx.git/upstream, and barring any
    brown-paper-bag issues will move to linux-next via async_tx.git/next.
