pxa2xx_spi: dma bugfixes

Fixes two DMA bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver.  The first bug is in all
versions of this driver; the second was introduced in the 2.6.20 kernel,
and prevents using the driver with chips like m25p16 flash (which can
issue large DMA reads).

 1. Zero length transfers are permitted for use to insert timing,
    but pxa2xx_spi.c will fail if this is requested in DMA mode.
    Fixed by using programmed I/O (PIO) mode for such transfers.

 2. Transfers larger than 8191 are not permitted in DMA mode.  A
    test for length rejects all large transfers regardless of DMA
    or PIO mode.  Worked around by rejecting only large transfers
    with DMA mapped buffers, and forcing all other transfers
    larger than 8191 to use PIO mode.  A rate limited warning is
    issued for DMA transfers forced to PIO mode.

This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20.  An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.
