Hi Nicolas,

With Haavard's recently posted changes there is more activity in the
dmaengine/async_tx space with implications to mv_xor. What
difficulties arise if I carry mv_xor through async_tx.git instead of
letting it go though arm.git, i.e. what patches do you have that
depend on mv_xor?

Thanks,
Dan
