I kinda screwed you with that request given Hellwig's NAK on the
function pointer based stuff. Ah well, I prefer matching the proposed
naming of the dma core to what RVI chose for the instructions.

I suppose this will need a resubmission once Arnd's stuff gets applied,
but I would like to see it have a run through the build bots etc.
Cheers,
