atmel-mci: Add experimental DMA support
This adds support for DMA transfers through the generic DMA engine framework with the DMA slave extensions. The driver has been tested using mmc-block and ext3fs on several SD, SDHC and MMC+ cards. Reads and writes work fine, with read transfer rates up to 7.5 MiB/s on fast cards with debugging disabled. Unfortunately, the driver has been known to lock up from time to time with DMA enabled, so DMA support is currently optional and marked EXPERIMENTAL. However, I didn't see any problems while testing 13 different cards (MMC, SD and SDHC of different brands and sizes), so I suspect the "Initialize BLKR before sending data transfer command" fix that was posted earlier fixed this as well.
