atmel_serial: add DMA support

This patch is based on the DMA-patch by Chip Coldwell for the AT91/AT32 serial
USARTS, with some tweaks to make it apply neatly on top of the other patches
in this series.

The RX and TX code has been moved to a tasklet and reworked a bit.  Instead of
depending on the ENDRX and TIMEOUT bits in CSR, we simply grab as much data as
we can from the DMA buffers.  I think this closes a race where the ENDRX bit
is set after we read CSR but before we read RPR, although I haven't confirmed
this.

Similarly, the two TX handlers (ENDTX and TXBUFE) have been combined into one.
 Since the current code only uses a single TX buffer, there's no point in
handling those interrupts separately.

This also fixes a DMA sync bug in the original patch.
