DMA Request.
This signal is used for DMA
transfers between the host and device.
DMARQ is asserted by the device when the
device is ready to transfer data to/from the
host. The direction of data transfer is
controller by -IORD and -IOWR. This signal
is used in a handshake manner with -
DMACK (i.e., the device waits until the host
asserts -DMACK before negating DMARQ,
and reasserts DMARQ if there is more data
to transfer). The DMARQ/-DMACK
handshake is used to provide flow control
during the transfer.
