what are these two used for?

I guess loop is for cyclic case, are you not invoking vchan_cyclic_callback()
for that? I dont see this call in this patch although the driver supports
cyclic mode.

this is called from _prep_ so we are in non slpeepy context and would need to
use GFP_NOWAIT flag..

on DMA_COMPLETE reside is 0, so why this?

you need to check which descriptor is the query for, current or queued.

alloced .. you mean allocated?
