Mapping the destination multiple times is a misuse of the dma-api.
Since the destination may be reused as a source, ensure that it is only
mapped once and that it is mapped bidirectionally. This appears to add
ugliness on the unmap side in that it always reads back the destination
address from the descriptor, but gcc can determine that dma_unmap is a
nop and not emit the code that calculates its arguments.

In some cases client code may need the dma-driver to skip the unmap of source
and/or destination buffers. Setting these flags indicates to the driver to
skip the unmap step. In this regard async_xor is currently broken in that it
allows the destination buffer to be unmapped while an operation is still in
progress, i.e. when the number of sources exceeds the hardware channel's
maximum (fixed in a subsequent patch).

A DMA controller capable of doing slave transfers may need to know a
few things about the slave when preparing the channel. We don't want
to add this information to struct dma_channel since the channel hasn't
yet been bound to a client at this point.
Instead, pass a reference to the client requesting the channel to the
driver's device_alloc_chan_resources hook so that it can pick the
necessary information from the dma_client struct by itself.

The XOR engine found in Marvell's SoCs and system controllers
provides XOR and DMA operation, iSCSI CRC32C calculation, memory
initialization, and memory ECC error cleanup operation support.
This driver implements the DMA engine API and supports the following
capabilities:
- memcpy
- xor
- memset
The XOR engine can be used by DMA engine clients implemented in the
kernel, one of those clients is the RAID module. In that case, I
observed 20% improvement in the raid5 write throughput, and 40%
decrease in the CPU utilization when doing array construction, those
results obtained on an 5182 running at 500Mhz.
When enabling the NET DMA client, the performance decreased, so
meanwhile it is recommended to keep this client off.
