Yes, since the arm specific patch are depending on other parts of the 
series I was hoping to be able to get Russells Ack on it and then try to 
get it all in through the dmaengine tree.

If you see a better way I'm happy to do it that way, let me know what 
you think. I hold off v8 that adresses the issues Russell brought up a 
few days untill I know what you think is best.
