Hm. It would be a check if the given DMA channel is active - and if it
is busy waiting for it.
So, what would then be a generic interface for DMA? I see that this is a
verrry basic solution - but where do you see the actual problems
implementing this interface for other DMA controllers? Or do you think
that the interface is to simple?

I haven't given up on the general solution yet. If I don't see another
way I will do that.
