Re: Using DMA for memcpy()

I've been mulling over it a bit more since I posted the query, and you're 
right.  Cache coherency would be a big problem, as would scheduling the 
DMA or trying to implement some piecemeal sharing mechanism so no one 
process is waiting too long to use the controller.  Forget I asked.  ;)  

Better off just using the DMA controller as needed as some sort of 
background copier.
