As of now, this is an open question, sadly. I have a tendency to leave
it to the drivers (maybe with helper functions from the core), because
I2C and DMA is so uncommon. I need to work on I2C & DMA next month
anyhow, so I hope to dive into that topic, too. No promises, though. If
you want to look into it already, please go ahead. The issue was raised
here, too: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/220137/
