Ah, I understand now, thanks for the patience. It took me a couple of
read throughs before I got it, but I figured it out and now have a
working implementation that looks really nice. It's a big improvement
not needing the two different P2PDMA helpers.

I'll send a v8 of just the first 13 patches next week after a bit more
testing. I've put a draft git branch here if you want to look at it
before that:

Thanks!
