f27c580c36 dmaengine: remove 'bigref' infrastructure
Reference counting is done at the module level so clients need not worry
that a channel will leave while they are actively using dmaengine.

aa1e6f1a38 dmaengine: kill struct dma_client and supporting infrastructure
All users have been converted to either the general-purpose allocator,
dma_find_channel, or dma_request_channel.

07f2211e4f dmaengine: remove dependency on async_tx
async_tx.ko is a consumer of dma channels.  A circular dependency arises
if modules in drivers/dma rely on common code in async_tx.ko.  It
prevents either module from being unloaded.

Move dma_wait_for_async_tx and async_tx_run_dependencies to dmaeninge.o
where they should have been from the beginning.

a06d568f7c async_xor: dma_map destination DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL
Mapping the destination multiple times is a misuse of the dma-api.
Since the destination may be reused as a source, ensure that it is only
mapped once and that it is mapped bidirectionally.  This appears to add
ugliness on the unmap side in that it always reads back the destination
address from the descriptor, but gcc can determine that dma_unmap is a
nop and not emit the code that calculates its arguments.

e1d181efb1 dmaengine: add DMA_COMPL_SKIP_{SRC,DEST}_UNMAP flags to control dma unmap
In some cases client code may need the dma-driver to skip the unmap of source
and/or destination buffers.  Setting these flags indicates to the driver to
skip the unmap step.  In this regard async_xor is currently broken in that it
allows the destination buffer to be unmapped while an operation is still in
progress, i.e. when the number of sources exceeds the hardware channel's
maximum (fixed in a subsequent patch).

848c536a37 dmaengine: Add dma_client parameter to device_alloc_chan_resources
A DMA controller capable of doing slave transfers may need to know a
few things about the slave when preparing the channel. We don't want
to add this information to struct dma_channel since the channel hasn't
yet been bound to a client at this point.

Instead, pass a reference to the client requesting the channel to the
driver's device_alloc_chan_resources hook so that it can pick the
necessary information from the dma_client struct by itself.

ff7b04796d dmaengine: DMA engine driver for Marvell XOR engine
The XOR engine found in Marvell's SoCs and system controllers
provides XOR and DMA operation, iSCSI CRC32C calculation, memory
initialization, and memory ECC error cleanup operation support.

This driver implements the DMA engine API and supports the following
capabilities:
- memcpy
- xor
- memset

The XOR engine can be used by DMA engine clients implemented in the
kernel, one of those clients is the RAID module.  In that case, I
observed 20% improvement in the raid5 write throughput, and 40%
decrease in the CPU utilization when doing array construction, those
results obtained on an 5182 running at 500Mhz.

When enabling the NET DMA client, the performance decreased, so
meanwhile it is recommended to keep this client off.
