A suggestion for an incremental patch - you might want to initialise the
max_xfer_len field like

	schan->max_xfer_len = 64 * 1024 * 1024 - 1;

because if it isn't initialised your max transfer length will be 4k,
which will hurt your performance. I think you should get a better
throughput after that
