Are there any plans for refactoring DPCM? any ideas ongoing? I also have 
some changes for PCM dmaengine, in the same 'style', similar to what I 
sent some time ago...
I can adjust to different ideas, if there are any, but, for a start, can 
anyone confirm that the problem I am trying to fix is real?
