-planned for the future.)  The list of required and optional parameters
-is the same for all the current raid types.  The required parameters are

- [[no]sync]             Force/Prevent RAID initialization
- [rebuild <idx>]        Rebuild the drive indicated by the index

 1. Allocate a DMA slave channel
-Channel allocation is slightly different in the slave DMA context, client

-dma_request_channel() API is used.
-
-Interface:

-where dma_filter_fn is defined as:
-typedef bool (*dma_filter_fn)(struct dma_chan *chan, void *filter_param);
-
-When the optional 'filter_fn' parameter is set to NULL dma_request_channel
-simply returns the first channel that satisfies the capability mask.  Otherwise,
-when the mask parameter is insufficient for specifying the necessary channel,
-the filter_fn routine can be used to disposition the available channels in the
-system. The filter_fn routine is called once for each free channel in the
-system.  Upon seeing a suitable channel filter_fn returns DMA_ACK which flags
-that channel to be the return value from dma_request_channel.  A channel
-allocated via this interface is exclusive to the caller, until
-dma_release_channel() is called.

+   where dma_filter_fn is defined as:

 2. Set slave and controller specific parameters
-Next step is always to pass some specific information to the DMA driver. Most of
-the generic information which a slave DMA can use is in struct dma_slave_config.
-It allows the clients to specify DMA direction, DMA addresses, bus widths, DMA
-burst lengths etc. If some DMA controllers have more parameters to be sent then
-they should try to embed struct dma_slave_config in their controller specific
-structure. That gives flexibility to client to pass more parameters, if

-4. Submit the transaction and wait for callback notification
-To schedule the transaction to be scheduled by dma device, the "descriptor"
-returned in above (3) needs to be submitted.
-To tell the dma driver that a transaction is ready to be serviced, the
-descriptor->submit() callback needs to be invoked. This chains the descriptor to
-the pending queue.
-The transactions in the pending queue can be activated by calling the
-issue_pending API. If channel is idle then the first transaction in queue is
-started and subsequent ones queued up.
-On completion of the DMA operation the next in queue is submitted and a tasklet
-triggered. The tasklet would then call the client driver completion callback
-routine for notification, if set.

-==============================================================================
-
-Additional usage notes for dma driver writers
-1/ Although DMA engine specifies that completion callback routines cannot submit
-any new operations, but typically for slave DMA subsequent transaction may not
-be available for submit prior to callback routine being called. This requirement
-is not a requirement for DMA-slave devices. But they should take care to drop
-the spin-lock they might be holding before calling the callback routine
+   The peripheral driver is expected to have mapped the scatterlist for
+   the DMA operation prior to calling device_prep_slave_sg, and must
+   keep the scatterlist mapped until the DMA operation has completed.
+   The scatterlist must be mapped using the DMA struct device.  So,
+   normal setup should look like this:
+
+	nr_sg = dma_map_sg(chan->device->dev, sgl, sg_len);
+	if (nr_sg == 0)
+		/* error */
+
+	desc = chan->device->device_prep_slave_sg(chan, sgl, nr_sg,
+			direction, flags);
+
+   Once a descriptor has been obtained, the callback information can be
+   added and the descriptor must then be submitted.  Some DMA engine
+   drivers may hold a spinlock between a successful preparation and
+   submission so it is important that these two operations are closely
+   paired.
+
+   Note:
+	Although the async_tx API specifies that completion callback
+	routines cannot submit any new operations, this is not the
+	case for slave/cyclic DMA.
+
+	For slave DMA, the subsequent transaction may not be available
+	for submission prior to callback function being invoked, so
+	slave DMA callbacks are permitted to prepare and submit a new
+	transaction.
+
+	For cyclic DMA, a callback function may wish to terminate the
+	DMA via dmaengine_terminate_all().
+
+	Therefore, it is important that DMA engine drivers drop any
+	locks before calling the callback function which may cause a
+	deadlock.
+
+	Note that callbacks will always be invoked from the DMA
+	engines tasklet, never from interrupt context.
+
+4. Submit the transaction
+
+   Once the descriptor has been prepared and the callback information
+   added, it must be placed on the DMA engine drivers pending queue.
+
+   Interface:
+	dma_cookie_t dmaengine_submit(struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *desc)
+
+   This returns a cookie can be used to check the progress of DMA engine
+   activity via other DMA engine calls not covered in this document.
+
+   dmaengine_submit() will not start the DMA operation, it merely adds
+   it to the pending queue.  For this, see step 5, dma_async_issue_pending.
+
+5. Issue pending DMA requests and wait for callback notification
+
+   The transactions in the pending queue can be activated by calling the
+   issue_pending API. If channel is idle then the first transaction in
+   queue is started and subsequent ones queued up.
+
+   On completion of each DMA operation, the next in queue is started and
+   a tasklet triggered. The tasklet will then call the client driver
+   completion callback routine for notification, if set.
+
+   Interface:
+	void dma_async_issue_pending(struct dma_chan *chan);
+
+Further APIs:
+
+1. int dmaengine_terminate_all(struct dma_chan *chan)
+
+   This causes all activity for the DMA channel to be stopped, and may
+   discard data in the DMA FIFO which hasn't been fully transferred.
+   No callback functions will be called for any incomplete transfers.
+
+2. int dmaengine_pause(struct dma_chan *chan)
+
+   This pauses activity on the DMA channel without data loss.
+
+3. int dmaengine_resume(struct dma_chan *chan)
+
+   Resume a previously paused DMA channel.  It is invalid to resume a
+   channel which is not currently paused.
+
+4. enum dma_status dma_async_is_tx_complete(struct dma_chan *chan,
+        dma_cookie_t cookie, dma_cookie_t *last, dma_cookie_t *used)
+
+   This can be used to check the status of the channel.  Please see
+   the documentation in include/linux/dmaengine.h for a more complete
+   description of this API.
+
+   This can be used in conjunction with dma_async_is_complete() and
+   the cookie returned from 'descriptor->submit()' to check for
+   completion of a specific DMA transaction.
+
+   Note:
+	Not all DMA engine drivers can return reliable information for
+	a running DMA channel.  It is recommended that DMA engine users
+	pause or stop (via dmaengine_terminate_all) the channel before
+	using this API.
