This patch adds a cyclic DMA interface to the DW DMA driver. This is
very useful if you want to use the DMA controller in combination with a
sound device which uses cyclic buffers.
Using a DMA channel for cyclic DMA will disable the possibility to use
it as a normal DMA engine until the user calls the cyclic free function
on the DMA channel. Also a cyclic DMA list can not be prepared if the
channel is already active.

dma_request_channel provides an exclusive channel, so we no longer need to
pass slave data through dmaengine.

This adds a driver for the Synopsys DesignWare DMA controller (aka
DMACA on AVR32 systems.) This DMA controller can be found integrated
on the AT32AP7000 chip and is primarily meant for peripheral DMA
transfer, but can also be used for memory-to-memory transfers.
This patch is based on a driver from David Brownell which was based on
an older version of the DMA Engine framework. It also implements the
proposed extensions to the DMA Engine API for slave DMA operations.
The dmatest client shows no problems, but there may still be room for
improvement performance-wise. DMA slave transfer performance is
definitely "good enough"; reading 100 MiB from an SD card running at ~20
MHz yields ~7.2 MiB/s average transfer rate.
Full documentation for this controller can be found in the Synopsys
DW AHB DMAC Databook:
http://www.synopsys.com/designware/docs/iip/DW_ahb_dmac/latest/doc/dw_ahb_dmac_db.pdf
The controller has lots of implementation options, so it's usually a
good idea to check the data sheet of the chip it's intergrated on as
well. The AT32AP7000 data sheet can be found here:

Changes since v4:
* Use client_count instead of dma_chan_is_in_use()
* Add missing include
* Unmap buffers unless client told us not to
Changes since v3:
* Update to latest DMA engine and DMA slave APIs
* Embed the hw descriptor into the sw descriptor
* Clean up and update MODULE_DESCRIPTION, copyright date, etc.
Changes since v2:
* Dequeue all pending transfers in terminate_all()
* Rename dw_dmac.h -> dw_dmac_regs.h
* Define and use controller-specific dma_slave data
* Fix up a few outdated comments
* Define hardware registers as structs (doesn't generate better
code, unfortunately, but it looks nicer.)
* Get number of channels from platform_data instead of hardcoding it
based on CONFIG_WHATEVER_CPU.
* Give slave clients exclusive access to the channel
