Hi,

in order to try and create a smoother path for changes in this area to land
I have pushed them to the shdma-for-v3.17 branch of my renesas tree
on kernel.org. It is merged into the devel and next branches of that tree
and should appear in linux-next in the near future.

My intention is to send a pull-request for this branch once it has sat
in next for a short time. I hope that this approach is useful to all parties.
