I see that four out of the five remaining board files still use
omap_udc, which is the only remaining user of the custom
DMA interface. What I had not noticed earlier is that DMA support
in that driver is actually optional, though it's hardwired
to be enabled.

So if we want to kill off the old DMA stuff there is actually
a choice between either making omap_udc PIO-only or converting
it to use the standard dmaengine interface.
