Convert the driver to use the core virt-dma. The driver will be easier to
maintain as it uses the list handling and the tasklet from virt-dma.

With the conversion replace the election of a new transfer in the tasklet
with the election of the new transfer in the interrupt handler. With this
we have a shorter idle window as we remove the scheduling latency of the
tasklet. I chose to do this while doing the conversion to virt-dma,
because if I made a prerequisite patch with the new transfer election in
the irq handler, I would have to duplicate some virt-dma code in the
at_hdmac driver that would end up being removed at the virt-dma conversion
anyway. So do this in a single step.

Even if it's difficult to review, I support the transition:

Thanks Tudor, regards,
