Yeah, not good..

This is better on short term. It needs an associated patch to change
drivers to use new names.

Hey, this looks like a good solution in the long run. Except, let's just
load the table for each processor that is compiled in to save memory.

You could load the associated processor dma request configuration from
devices_2420.c, devices_2430.c and devices_3430.c.
