That's good news. If this would happen before I have spend two weeks 
converting the original Xilinx "driver" to something with at least a 
theoretical chance to be included into the kernel, it would be even 
better... ;-)

As I already replied to Lizhi Hou, this new XDMA driver is at the moment 
unusable for most XDMA-based HW as it does not handle the user IRQs 
logic and as it also takes up the user IRQs register memory space, it 
even actively hinders other drivers to at least handle the IRQs themselves.
