It's commonly done on certain SoCs, but I'd prefer to not start doing
it on those that don't do it today.

At the moment, we do it only on s3c64xx, s5p, davinci, omap1, and pxa
on ARM, as well as arch/blackfin and one MIPS machine.
I suppose we have to introduce it on s3c24xx in order to keep
supporting sound, unless we put the audio dma channels into
s3c_audio_pdata.

I think that would be a better approach, given that you also need
to put the filter function pointer for the audio stuff somewhere.

Maybe Mark Brown has a strong preference to how he wants this done
in the audio drivers, then you can do it the same way for s3cmci.
