Okay the series is fine and was going to apply it BUT
1) need ack on DT patch..
2) issues below on managing the descriptor and resetting the cookie :(

ah why do you need this? 

So this essentailly prevents you from preparing two trasactions at same time as
you would overwrite??

You should maintain a list for pending and submitted.

why this is initialized in submit.. when you call dma_cookie_assign()
