There should be way for users to give a "hint" for these modules that a DMA transfer is preferred.
I call it a hint since a DMA transaction is not always available. The underlying controller / platform might not support it.

It is also not a good idea to just use DMA by default where available because usually this feature increases the application footprint considerably.

We need to discuss it and see if it's relevant given our target audience.
We must balance how much low level control we want to allow avoiding to get to a complex / bloated API for newcomers.
