PPC: dbdma: Support more multi-issue DMA requests
A DMA request can happen for data that hasn't been completely been
provided by the IDE core yet. For example
- DBDMA request for 0x1000 bytes
- IDE request for 1 sector
- DBDMA wants to read 0x1000 bytes (8 sectors) from bdrv
- breakage
Instead, we should truncate our bdrv request to the maximum number
of sectors we're allowed to read at that given time. Once that transfer
is through, we will fall into our recently introduced waiting logic.
- DBDMA requests for 0x1000 bytes
- IDE request for 1 sector
- DBDMA wants to read MIN(0x1000, 1 * 512) bytes
- DBDMA finishes reading, indicates to IDE core that transfer is complete
- IDE request for 7 sectors
- DBDMA finishes the DMA
