With this patch, the driver code gets complemented with DMA support. The support for master DMA, in turn, cleared the way for using interrupts to wait for the completion of transfers, which largely relieves the CPU compared to the polling PIO mode. Consequently, the new version has a much lower CPU footprint. In the current version, both modes of operation PIO and DMA are functional. However, PIO mode is retained for benchmarking purposes only and will possibly be removed to keep the driver simple. It is disabled in the driver's 'main.cc'.
