[RFC][PATCH] DMA: Expand dmaengine implementation for more DMACs

From: Peter Pearse
Date: Tue Jul 03 2007 - 11:21:21 EST


Hi,

The existing DMAC used by the dmaengine API (Intel IOAT) assumes all
possible clients can use any available DMA channel.

Some other DMACs restrict particular peripherals to particular DMA channels.

The patch below (against v2.6.22-rc7) extends the dmaengine implementation
to allow such DMACs to differentiate between clients.

Regards

Peter Pearse

Pass client data down to the dmaengine DMAC implementation code.
