I tried enabling this on my MMC host (mmci) but I got weird
DMA error messages when I did.

I guess this has not been tested on a non-DMA-coherent
system?

I think I might be seeing this because the .pre and .post
callbacks need to be strictly sequenced, and this is
maybe not taken into account here? Isn't there as risk
that the .post callback of the next request is called before
the .post callback of the previous request has returned
for example?
