Subject: [PATCHv5] DMAEngine: Define interleaved transfer request api

Define a new api that could be used for doing fancy data transfers
like interleaved to contiguous copy and vice-versa.
Traditional SG_list based transfers tend to be very inefficient in
such cases as where the interleave and chunk are only a few bytes,
which call for a very condensed api to convey pattern of the transfer.
This api supports all 4 variants of scatter-gather and contiguous transfer.

Of course, neither can this api help transfers that don't lend to DMA by
nature, i.e, scattered tiny read/writes with no periodic pattern.

Also since now we support SLAVE channels that might not provide
device_prep_slave_sg callback but device_prep_interleaved_dma,
remove the BUG_ON check.

Dan,
 After waiting for a reply from you/Alexandre a couple of days I am revising
 my patch without adding a hook for RapidIO case for 2 reasons:
  a) I think the RapidIO requirement is served better by the concept of
     virtual channels, rather than hacking "struct dma_chan" to reach more
     than one device.
  b) If Alexandre comes up with something irresistible, we can always add
     the hook later.

Changes since v4:
1) Dropped the 'frm_irq' member.
2) Renamed 'xfer_direction' to 'dma_transfer_direction'

Changes since v3:
1) Added explicit type for source and destination.

Changes since v2:
1) Added some notes to documentation.
2) Removed the BUG_ON check that expects every SLAVE channel to
   provide a prep_slave_sg, as we are now valid otherwise too.
3) Fixed the DMA_TX_TYPE_END offset - made it last element of enum.
4) Renamed prep_dma_genxfer to prep_interleaved_dma as Vinod wanted.

Changes since v1:
1) Dropped the 'dma_transaction_type' member until we really
   merge another type into this api. Instead added special
   type for this api - DMA_GENXFER in dma_transaction_type.
2) Renamed 'xfer_template' to 'dmaxfer_template' inorder to
