The question was about the SPI controller itself.
Also, depending on the driver it may or may not require DMA-safe
pointers. I believe with the new pump queue used in the SPI core all
drivers that are using it are DMA-safe and the caller needs no
additional care.

It's guard()() and scoped_guard() for locks and __free() for the allocations.

Plenty of uses in a few modules already (talking about Linux Next snapshot).

Actually, it's a placeholder for the future support of indexed CS'.

Same as somewhere above.
