How would you like to do this? Don't you think, it would be good to allow 
both: either implement a dmaengine driver directly, exactly as all drivers 
are doing now, or use the additional helper library for suitable (simple) 
hardware types? I see it similar to I2C, where you either implement an I2C 
driver directly, or you use the bitbanging abstraction for simpler 
hardware.
I think it would be good to have both, this can be used by folks who
don't have sg support available.
Ok, so, should I just rename the driver to sgsoft? Is this the only 
change, that you'd like to see?
That would be one :)
Also, I would review the other patch patches by today/tomorrow, you can
add any changes in next version as well
Do I understand it right, that I'm waiting for your review before 
submitting the next version?

Thanks
Guennadi
