2008-08-09[ARM] Move include/asm-arm/plat-orion to arch/arm/plat-orion/include/platLennert Buytenhek
This patch performs the equivalent include directory shuffle for plat-orion, and fixes up all users. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
2008-07-08dmaengine: add DMA_COMPL_SKIP_{SRC,DEST}_UNMAP flags to control dma unmapDan Williams
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).

2008-07-08dmaengine: Add dma_client parameter to device_alloc_chan_resourcesHaavard Skinnemoen
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.

2008-07-08dmaengine: DMA engine driver for Marvell XOR engineSaeed Bishara
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.
