Subject: idxd: shared workqueues and dmaengine

Hey, I'm trying to use idxd inside the kernel via dmaengine. I'm
attempting to get shared work queues (SWQs) via dma_find_channel(),
which stubbornly returns NULL.

After a lot of printk-ing, I finally ran across DMA_PRIVATE. I also
found [1] and saw that DMA_PRIVATE is also set in the idxd driver since
c06e424be5f51844 ("dmaengine: idxd: set DMA channel to be private").

It seems like this forces use of dma_request_channel(). But I believe
the idea behind SWQs is that they don't have to be exclusively owned.

Is there a way to use SWQs via dma_find_channel()? dma_request_channel()
seems like overkill, as the point of SWQs is to not be exclusive. Also a
good chance I'm missing something basic here :)

Thanks!
Kevin
