I don't have any more protection than any other driver that accesses SOC 
registers directly.  Last I heard, Zhang's DMA driver was in limbo, and that 
driver would be the best place to arbitrate DMA register access.  I was planning 
on adding arbitration support to that driver after both drivers were applied.

As for the GUTS driver, well, I just program a few registers at startup, and I 
don't think any other driver touches them.
