IPA v2.x uses BAM to send and receive IP packets, to and from the AP.
However, unlike its predecessor BAM-DMUX, it doesn't send information
about the packet length. To find the length of the packet, one must
instead read the bam_desc metadata. This patch adds support for sending
the size metadata over the dmaengine metadata api. Currently only the
dma size is stored in the metadata. Only client-side metadata is
supported for now, because host-side metadata doesn't make sense for
IPA, where more than one DMA descriptors could be waiting to be acked
and processed.
