This is a bug fix for the situation when function tsi721_desc_get() fails
to obtain a free transaction descriptor.
The bug usually results in a memory access crash dump when data transfer
scatter-gather list has more entries than size of hardware buffer
descriptors ring. This fix ensures that error is properly returned to a
caller instead of an invalid entry.
This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.5.

Combine SG entries describing single contiguous memory block into one
Tsi721 BDMA descriptor. This reduces number of hardware descriptors
required for large data transfers and improves performance on the PCIe
side by reducing number of descriptor fetch requests.

This patch is a modification of the patch originally proposed by
Xiaotian Feng <xtfeng@gmail.com>: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/413
This new version disables DMA channel interrupts and ensures that the
tasklet wil not be scheduled again before calling tasklet_kill().
Unfortunately the updated patch was not released at that time due to
planned rework of Tsi721 mport driver to use threaded interrupts (which
has yet to happen). Recently the issue was reported again:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/19/762.
Description from the original Xiaotian's patch:
"Some drivers use tasklet_disable in device remove/release process,
tasklet_disable will inc tasklet->count and return. If the tasklet is
not handled yet under some softirq pressure, the tasklet will be
placed on the tasklet_vec, never have a chance to be excuted. This
might lead to a heavy loaded ksoftirqd, wakeup with pending_softirq,
but tasklet is disabled. tasklet_kill should be used in this case."
This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.5.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option so __devinit is no longer
needed.

Adds support for DMA Engine API into Tsi721 mport driver.
Includes following changes for Tsi721 driver:
- Modifies BDMA register offset definitions to support per-channel handling
- Separates BDMA channel reserved for RIO Maintenance requests
- Adds DMA Engine callback routines
