You can use the must_tx and must_rx flags to use the core implementation
of this functionality.  This will mean you get any performance or other
improvements we implement there.

The SPI controller has variables for this already - you should use them
(and the core support).  In general my main comment on this patch is
that you should be using the core DMA support, it fixes some problems
(like not having mapping for vmalloc() buffers) and factors out some
code.
