Ok, I see what these functions are doing, and dmatest_add_channel() is
not doing it.  dmatest_add_channel() should not assume that it will
only receive one and only one DMA_RESOURCE_AVAILABLE for each channel.

I'll post a patch, if Haavard doesn't do it first.  Thanks for looking
into this and getting back to me.  I've spent the entire week
debugging this.
