I was trying to go thru ACPI 5 and see a solution, i think we 
- use IORESOURCE_IO, but they have a specfic meaning
- accpet this patch with IORESOURCE_DMA, but again this has specfic dma meaning
  too. Just becoz you are in slave-dma driver, doesn't justify use of
  IORESOURCE_DMA as well
- use platform_data (somehow get this from CSRT into device parsing logic of
  ACPI where you create your platform device and add this in platform data

Sure, do we have anything better than above?
