Dan Williams 5cbafa65b9 ioat2,3: convert to a true ring buffer
Replace the current linked list munged into a ring with a native ring
buffer implementation.  The benefit of this approach is reduced overhead
as many parameters can be derived from ring position with simple pointer
comparisons and descriptor allocation/freeing becomes just a
manipulation of head/tail pointers.

It requires a contiguous allocation for the software descriptor
information.

Since this arrangement is significantly different from the ioat1 chain,
move ioat2,3 support into its own file and header.  Common routines are
exported from driver/dma/ioat/dma.[ch].

Dan Williams 584ec22759 ioat: move to drivers/dma/ioat/
When first created the ioat driver was the only inhabitant of
drivers/dma/.  Now, it is the only multi-file (more than a .c and a .h)
driver in the directory.  Moving it to an ioat/ subdirectory allows the
naming convention to be cleaned up, and allows for future splitting of
the source files by hardware version (v1, v2, and v3).
