Btw, what is the real argument of not using this table?

Yes, I know that this is an MS extension, but why ARM needs something else and
why even that is needed at all? CSRT is only for the _shared_ DMA resources
and I think most of the IPs nowadays are using private DMA engines (or
semi-private when driver based on ID can know which channel services which
device).
