rapidio/tsi721_dma: rework scatter-gather list handling
Rework Tsi721 RapidIO DMA engine support to allow handling data
scatter/gather lists longer than number of hardware buffer descriptors in
the DMA channel's descriptor list.
The current implementation of Tsi721 DMA transfers requires that number of
entries in a scatter/gather list provided by a caller of
dmaengine_prep_rio_sg() should not exceed number of allocated hardware
buffer descriptors.
This patch removes the limitation by processing long scatter/gather lists
by sections that can be transferred using hardware descriptor ring of
configured size. It also introduces a module parameter
"dma_desc_per_channel" to allow run-time configuration of Tsi721 hardware
buffer descriptor rings.
