It may be implementation dependent.  MACE driver stops tx dma and resumes
afterwards, so tx side of dbdma on MACE must support it.

I have no idea if how AWACS' tx dbdma behaves, but it may be necessary to
make the write to control register multi-step or something, i.e., clear
RUN [in order to clear DEAD bit] and wait until RUN bit is cleared by hw,
then set RUN|WAKE..

Hmm, I think it has to be either "chopped up" or "repeated" not both..  As
far as dbdma is concerned, those two are quite different effects.
