Do we consider Julian's latest result working?

Patch sent.

Good idea.  I'd call them memory and device though to match existing
dmaengine nomenclature.

I started working on a patch for that already.

Any idea what the value of 0x3 used by the old sata driver means?
Presumably that's decided by the bus.

The interrupt handler looks at the StatusTfr and StatusErr registers and
ignores StatusBlock.

I can test on AVR32.  That is as far as I know the only system I have
with this DMA engine.

I'm going away for the holidays, so I won't be able to do any serious
work on this until January, but I'll keep an eye on emails and may even
reply occasionally.  Before I go, I'll publish my patches so far
whatever shape they're in.
