I think I will try to change next that priv is accessible at the very
first. That's rather big problem since there is multiple drivers needing
priv for communication (buffers, msg seq numbers, etc) for example fw
loading.

After that I see important to move remote keytable mapping to level
where is USB IDs, device name and such info.
