And why is that, you can create a list and keep getting descriptors and
issue them to hardware and get better pref!

And you will get lists to manage descriptor for free! so you can use
that to support multiple txns as well!

Yes

Yes for memcpy operations, see Documentation/driver-api/dmaengine/dmatest.rst
