I'm not so sure myself. If I understand the datasheet correctly, the Au1100
DMA ctrl always transfers 2 segments of up to 64KB each. I'll correct the
commit-text and resend. Someone else with Au1100 hardware can figure that
out if they want; for now this only matter for Au1200 DMA.
(And I refuse to acknowledge the existence of that 'kibibyte' crap ;-) )
