    ioat2,3: convert to a true ring buffer · 5cbafa65
    Dan Williams authored
    Replace the current linked list munged into a ring with a native ring
    buffer implementation.  The benefit of this approach is reduced overhead
    as many parameters can be derived from ring position with simple pointer
    comparisons and descriptor allocation/freeing becomes just a
    manipulation of head/tail pointers.
    
    It requires a contiguous allocation for the software descriptor
    information.
    
    Since this arrangement is significantly different from the ioat1 chain,
    move ioat2,3 support into its own file and header.  Common routines are
    exported from driver/dma/ioat/dma.[ch].
