   The driver doesn't have an automatic fallback to PIO,
even without my patch. A error return from omap_request_dma is
propogated all the way back to the transfer request.
  The decision to use_dma (the variable) is unaltered.

   Infact, it would be easier to implement a runtime fallback after
this patch is
merged as I have separated out the capability and runtime selection.
(dma_caps and dma_in_use).
