Hi Greg,

apart from <LINUX/Documentation/DMA-API.txt>, is there any further  
documentation about the linux DMA subsystem available. LDD3 also talks  
more about the usage of the Generic DMA Layer, rather than saying  
something about how to connect your target specific DMA code to the  
DMA core. I am especially interested in the function stubs/macros one  
need to provide to the Linux DMA Layer.

With best regards,
Markus
