  			S3C2410 DMA
  			===========
  
  Introduction
  ------------
  
     The kernel provides an interface to manage DMA transfers
     using the DMA channels in the CPU, so that the central
     duty of managing channel mappings, and programming the
     channel generators is in one place.
  
  
  DMA Channel Ordering
  --------------------
  
     Many of the range do not have connections for the DMA
     channels to all sources, which means that some devices
     have a restricted number of channels that can be used.
  
     To allow flexibility for each CPU type and board, the
     DMA code can be given a DMA ordering structure which
     allows the order of channel search to be specified, as
     well as allowing the prohibition of certain claims.
  
     struct s3c24xx_dma_order has a list of channels, and
     each channel within has a slot for a list of DMA
     channel numbers. The slots are searched in order for
     the presence of a DMA channel number with DMA_CH_VALID
     or-ed in.
  
     If the order has the flag DMA_CH_NEVER set, then after
     checking the channel list, the system will return no
     found channel, thus denying the request.
  
     A board support file can call s3c24xx_dma_order_set()
     to register a complete ordering set. The routine will
     copy the data, so the original can be discarded with
     __initdata.
