[PATCH] ARM: OMAP: DMA updates to OMAP MMC driver
DMA updates to the OMAP MMC driver (Juha): * Accept multi-segment scatterlist requests to reduce the cost of data transfer operations, increasing speed dramatically * Release DMA channel lazily for a minor performance boost * Synchronize the completion of a request to both DMA transfer completion and command completion to work around a problem of some response IRQs being lost Also, updates from DB for handling the individual DMA segments: * Use the correct sg_dma_*() calls; * Return to the previous scheme of doing DMA in frames of up no more than one FIFO's worth of data, and * Don't print messages in the curious "DMA IRQ with DMA still pending" case. This provides about a 10% improvement in elapsed time during large DMA transfers, 100% improvement in kernel time, and orders of magnitude reduction in IRQ count.
