It will always be somewhat unclear to users who don't read the doc anyway :) IE. the dma_* ones do only DMA vs DMA (or vs other processors) but the mmio_* one do anything vs anything. Not a huge deal tho. I still like dma_* for Alexander's new stuff but I wouldn't bother with changing the existing ones.
