Yeah, that is how it will be. I have been busy with other stuffs, but now
I have finish a version with all dmm module removed and reserve/unreserve
Api removed as well. But because a the big # of patches merge in dspbrdge
I have to rebase them to the latest, I hope finish this week and send
Them again next week.

Fernando.
