Thanks for the summary, Geert!

Still, I'd think I should repost my patches with your comments
addressed. It does add a bit of overhead IF the dmaengine core is
compiled in AND the driver for the DMA hardware is not. Well, yeah. On
the other hand, it fixes the regression that the driver is not even
loaded in that case (because it currently will be deferred endlessly).

What do you think?

All the best,
