Just keep in mind that some chipsets don't use dma_base
but still can do DMA (typically ide-pmac, and some embedded
controllers). They do DMA their own way, not using the PRD
tables. Actually, I would love beeing able to use that same
dma_base (and others) fields for my own stuffs, but the common
layer, last I looked at it, still does assumptions that when
those are filled, they match a legacy controller.
