Configuring core drivers using macros like this one prevents re-unifying the core driver forks, and prevents implementing the core driver as a library or a platform driver. The UNSAFE macro in particular is a poor workaround for the problem of interrupt latency. Releasing the locks complicates things because then we would have to handle the possibility of EH handler invocation during a PDMA transfer. The comments say that instead of using this macro, "you're going to be better off twiddling with transfersize". I agree. Remove this stuff.
