Ok, let's go with this version, but one question before I apply it:

What are the rules for when a new dma_slave_config can be set?
Looking at the driver implementations it seems there is nothing
preventing a concurrent call to device_control to occur at "wrong
time"?  Is there a synchronization context I'm missing?
