Not in the CSRT parser. Once your plaform devices are created, you can add your
own board handler for each platform device. This board code, using the
data availble from CSRT can go ahead and do the translation and present the
actual addresses to dmac.
Would this be doable with ACPI5.

Somehow I dont like the idea of DMA resource for request lines. DMA resources
have specific meaning, perhpas IO resource maybe better idea.
