Forgot to mention:

Tested on a raspberry pi with the following devices:
* 2x mcp2515
* 1x mmc_spi (with dma)
* 1x enc28j60 (with dma)
* 1x fb_st7735r (with dma)

The fbtft-device played all of the BigBuckBunny movie without any issues.
The spi-ethernet card was able to transfer 64MB without hickups
the fsck of the attached sd card worked flawlessly.
