4d4e58de32 dmaengine: move last completed cookie into generic dma_chan structure
Every DMA engine implementation declares a last completed dma cookie
in their private dma channel structures.  This is pointless, and
forces driver specific code.  Move this out into the common dma_chan
structure.

08714f60b0 dmaengine: mv_xor: remove write-only is_complete_cookie
mv_xor's is_complete_cookie is only ever written to, but never read.
This is silly, remove the write-only structure member.

64203b6727 mv_xor: implement a private tx_list
Drop mv_xor's use of tx_list from struct dma_async_tx_descriptor in
preparation for removal of this field.

ff7b04796d dmaengine: DMA engine driver for Marvell XOR engine
The XOR engine found in Marvell's SoCs and system controllers
provides XOR and DMA operation, iSCSI CRC32C calculation, memory
initialization, and memory ECC error cleanup operation support.

This driver implements the DMA engine API and supports the following
capabilities:
- memcpy
- xor
- memset

The XOR engine can be used by DMA engine clients implemented in the
kernel, one of those clients is the RAID module.  In that case, I
observed 20% improvement in the raid5 write throughput, and 40%
decrease in the CPU utilization when doing array construction, those
results obtained on an 5182 running at 500Mhz.

When enabling the NET DMA client, the performance decreased, so
meanwhile it is recommended to keep this client off.
