Updated patch coming up. Run-time checks are still not implemented. It would
be nice to have, but I fail to see on what basis I can have the runtime check.
Suggestions are welcome.

I've left in only two #ifdefs - one for the dma callback function, and the other
for the call to omap_request_dma(). The other ifdefs are now gone - replaced with
runtime checks based on whether a system DMA channel has been acquired.

Also fixed a small bug which would make this patch not compile.
