Thanks for the clarification! Hmm. I can do this, though the trouble
is all the soc_data-> references have to switch to a struct
k3dma_soc_data on the stack, which we have to initialize/copy over
depending on the soc_data return, which I'm not sure really simplifies
much (other then saving a ulong off the heap). But I'm ok with either.

thanks
