0403e38277 dmaengine: add fence support
Some engines optimize operation by reading ahead in the descriptor chain
such that descriptor2 may start execution before descriptor1 completes.
If descriptor2 depends on the result from descriptor1 then a fence is
required (on descriptor2) to disable this optimization.  The async_tx
api could implicitly identify dependencies via the 'depend_tx'
parameter, but that would constrain cases where the dependency chain
only specifies a completion order rather than a data dependency.  So,
provide an ASYNC_TX_FENCE to explicitly identify data dependencies.

0a82a6239b async_tx: add support for asynchronous RAID6 recovery operations
async_raid6_2data_recov() recovers two data disk failures

 async_raid6_datap_recov() recovers a data disk and the P disk

These routines are a port of the synchronous versions found in
drivers/md/raid6recov.c.  The primary difference is breaking out the xor
operations into separate calls to async_xor.  Two helper routines are
introduced to perform scalar multiplication where needed.
async_sum_product() multiplies two sources by scalar coefficients and
then sums (xor) the result.  async_mult() simply multiplies a single
source by a scalar.

This implemention also includes, in contrast to the original
synchronous-only code, special case handling for the 4-disk and 5-disk
array cases.  In these situations the default N-disk algorithm will
present 0-source or 1-source operations to dma devices.  To cover for
dma devices where the minimum source count is 2 we implement 4-disk and
5-disk handling in the recovery code.
