This has been particularly troublesome for cases where we might want to temporarily pause all incoming events. For EDMA DMAC, there is no way to do any such pausing of events as the occurence of the "next" event is not software controlled. Using "edma_pause" in IRQ handlers doesn't help as by then the event in concern from the slave is already missed. Linking a dummy slot, is seen to absorb these events which we didn't want to miss. So we don't link to dummy, but instead leave it linked to NULL set, allow an error condition and detect the channel that missed it.
