The DREQ has nothing to do with generating an interrupt, it
is a data transfer handshake signal.  The configuration of
this pin is determined by the system design, connection to
the peripheral for data transfer and the configuration of
the memory controller.

The configuration of the IDMA channel, including the buffer
descriptors, will determine how and when the CPM interrupt
will occur.
