Change the handling of the data stage in the driver : don't pump data in
the top-half interrupt, but rather schedule a thread for non dma cases.

This will enable latencies in the data pumping, especially if delays are
required. Moreover platform shall be more reactive as other interrupts
can be served while pumping data.

No throughput degradation was observed, at least on the zylonite
platform, while a slight degradation was being expected.

Using IRQF_ONESHOT would allow you not to do the interrupt enable /
disable dance.

Are you sure you need to set the state here?

Euh no, I'm not. I made it to be symmetric with dma_complete_func(). If it's not
needed, why is it needed in dma_complete_func() ?

Cheers.

Yes, that's a very good point. Would your Tested-by still hold with this change ?

Cheers.

Yep, I actually tested it before suggesting it.
