General: you converted all drivers to the new .device_tx_status() API, but
since they don't implement "residue," you left it uninitialised
everywhere. Wouldn't it be better to set it to 0 or total length,
depending on the complete / not complete status?

In the original proposal by Dan Williams the last member was "unsigned
long pos." I don't think, even on 64-bit systems anyone would kick off a >
4GB transfer, but who knows... And - I don't particularly like the name
"pos," but I do like the idea of returning bytes transfered better, than
bytes left. Can we change this?

Both last and used can be NULL.
