The DMA engine API documents the pause operation as stopping DMA transfers in 
a resumable way without data loss. Doesn't stopping the transfer forcefully 
like this result in incomplete transfers and thus data loss ? Shouldn't we 
instead signal the pause request to the interrupt handler to avoid starting 
the next transfer and wait for the end of the current transfer ?
