Merge tag 'dmaengine-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/dmaengine
Pull dmaengine update from Dan Williams:
"Collection of random updates to the core and some end-driver fixups
for ioatdma and mv_xor:
- NUMA aware channel allocation
- Cleanup dmatest debugfs interface
- ioat: make raid-support Atom only
- mv_xor: big endian
Aside from the top three commits these have all had some soak time in
-next. The top commit fixes a recent build breakage.
It has been a long while since my last pull request, hopefully it does
not show. Thanks to Vinod for keeping an eye on drivers/dma/ this
past year"
