This patch generalizes the existing drver/dma/ppc4xx/adma.c, so that
common code can be shared between different similar DMA engine
drivers in other SoCs.

Will both versions of this driver exist in the same kernel build? For
example the iop-adma driver supports iop13xx and iop3xx, but we select
the archtitecture at build time? Or, as I assume in this case, will the
two (maybe more?) ppc4xx adma drivers all be built in the same image,
more like ioatdma?
In the latter case I would recommend a file structure like:
drivers/dma/ppc4xx/adma.c
drivers/dma/ppc4xx/adma_440spe.c
drivers/dma/ppc4xx/adma_460ex.c
With patches to move the chipset specific pieces to their own file.
Minimizing the code churn in adma.c, or at least showing a progression
of what is unique and needs to be moved.
This would be similar to how ioatdma is structured and compiles a single
driver to cover the three major hardware revisions.
