The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall
back to an optimized software routine otherwise. Xor support is
implemented using the raid5 xor routines. For organizational purposes this
routine is moved to a common area.
The following fixes are also made:
* rename xor
The current implementation assumes that a channel will only be used by one
client at a time. In order to enable channel sharing the dmaengine core is
changed to a model where clients subscribe to channel-available-events.
Instead of tracking how many channels a client wants and how many it has
rec
The current dmaengine interface defines mutliple routines per operation,
i.e. dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_buf, dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_page etc. Adding
more operation types (xor, crc, etc) to this model would result in an
unmanageable number of method permutations.

Greetings,
Per Andrew's suggestion this is the md raid5 acceleration patch set
updated with more thorough changelogs to lower the barrier to entry for
reviewers. To get started with the code I would suggest the following
order:

oops output? dmesg output? Hardware config? How much memory? How big
is your kernel?
In AppArmor, we are interested in pathnames relative to the namespace root.
This is the same as d_path() except for the root where the search ends. Add
a function for computing the namespace-relative path.
