[PATCH] dmaengine maintainer update

I am stepping down as dmaengine maintainer as the bulk of the activity
in the subsystem is primarily targeted at the slave-dma case handled by
Vinod, and I have recently been unable to give the few patches I do
receive timely review.  There is still an item in my backlog to
eliminate the async_tx api and the constraints it poses on dmaengine
drivers, but I need not hold on to the maintainer role in the meantime.
I will still be subscribed to dmaengine at vger.kernel.org to answer
questions, but all patches should be routed through Vinod unless/until a
maintainer for the non-slave-dma use case arrives.  It is non-entirely
clear at this point that there is enough work going forward for a
separate maintainer of the pure-offload case.

Ongoing development of the ioatdma driver is handled by Dave.  I'm still
interested in reviewing ioatdma patches, but he is the primary
maintainer/developer going forward.

IOP platforms are not generating any traffic in my inbox, but if a patch
did arrive I've long since lost access to hardware.

I'll add this to final pull request for the contents of dmaengine.git
and priority fixes from patchwork that have been stalled.
