By default, the Freescale 83xx DMA controller uses the PCI Read Line
command when reading data over the PCI bus. Setting the controller to use
the PCI Read Multiple command instead allows the controller to read much
larger bursts of data, which provides a drastic speed increase.
The slowdown due to using PCI Read Line was only observed when a PCI-to-PCI
bridge was between the devices trying to communicate.
A simple test driver showed an increase from 4MB/sec to 116MB/sec when
performing DMA over the PCI bus. Using DMA to transfer between blocks of
local SDRAM showed no change in performance with this patch. The dmatest
driver was also used to verify the correctness of the transfers, and showed
no errors.

Modify the Freescale Elo / Elo Plus DMA driver so that it can be compiled as
a module.
The primary change is to stop treating the DMA controller as a bus, and the
DMA channels as devices on the bus. This is because the Open Firmware (OF)
kernel code does not allow busses to be removed, so although we can call
of_platform_bus_probe() to probe the DMA channels, there is no
of_platform_bus_remove(). Instead, the DMA channels are manually probed,
similar to what fsl_elbc_nand.c does.

a) every bitwise declaration will give a unique type; use typedefs.
b) no need to bother with the stuff pointed to by iomem pointers,
unless it's accessed directly. noderef will force us to use helpers
anyway.

The DMA_INTERRUPT async_tx is a NULL transfer, thus the BCR(count register)
is 0. When the transfer started with a byte count of zero, the DMA
controller will triger a PE(programming error) event and halt, not a normal
interrupt. I add special codes for PE event and DMA_INTERRUPT
async_tx testing.

The driver implements DMA engine API for Freescale MPC85xx DMA controller,
which could be used by devices in the silicon. The driver supports the
Basic mode of Freescale MPC85xx DMA controller. The MPC85xx processors
supported include MPC8540/60, MPC8555, MPC8548, MPC8641 and so on.
The MPC83xx(MPC8349, MPC8360) are also supported.
