That would make a lot more sense.  But also be said as I intended
these as the simple part of the dma work I'd like to get into 4.3.

Andrew, if you think it's not 4.3 material I'd rather keep them in
my git tree for now so that I can stack additional patches I have
in progress on top.  A non-git based tree like yours is unfortunately
very bad for patches that are dependencies for others.
