DMA engine support will be added at the next merge window.  It's already
in linux-next.

Note that as ARM evaluation boards all have entirely broken DMA, it's
something I can't test here, so I'm entirely reliant on other people
using the driver with working DMA engines, testing it, and reporting
back.  This is why the ARM primecell drivers traditionally have had no
DMA support - I just don't have any working hardware to develop such
facilities.
