I have been using IDMA to transfer data between kernel memory and a
FPGA. I also did some testing with memory-to-memory transfers and i
didn't find them to be worth the trouble. Performance ain't that great.
You probably get more speed by copying with your CPU, though you might
avoid some cache trashing.
I did also notice that when i am doing memory-to-peripheral (or
vice-versa) transfers, IDMA corrupts simultaneous Ethernet traffic
unless IDMA is set to low-priority mode. Same might apply for
memory-to-memory transfers.
