[Yoshio Kashiwagi]

David-san,

I posted this source code so that usage of SDMA could be shared.
Probably this code will be able to be used also by Virtex-5 FXT.
Since this source code is a reference level and start point as you
say, it is happy that it is maintainable with people of this ML.
I'll leave it in your hands about author.

Best Regards,
Yoshio Kashiwagi - Nissin Systems
