Can you elaborate on the synchronization strategy here?  It seems
like irq_lock is generally taken irq save and just around method
calls.  Wou;dn't it be better to leave locking to the methods
themselves?

And this still documentes a mutex instead of the irq save spinlock,
while we're at it..

Just curious: shouldn't this be a phys_addr_t instead of a dma_addr_t?


Otherwise this looks like a nice little framework to get started!
