So the idea is to exercise all the options provided by the epf-test driver. In
that sense, we need to have the DMA COPY test. However, I do agree that the
common DMA controllers will fail this case. So how about just simulating the DMA
COPY for controllers implementing DMA_PRIVATE cap? I don't think it hurts to
have this feature in test driver.
