Actually, there's a way to do that already.  DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT.
Unfortunately, most DMA engine slave API users don't set it when they
setup their transfer:

 * @DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT - trigger an interrupt (callback) upon completion of
 *  this transaction

if we fixed that, then we could use the lack of it to avoid the interrupt.

However, cyclic transfers don't have the flags parameter used to pass this
bit.  Yet another bit of yucky inconsistent design in DMA engine land...
