DMA_PRIVATE here keeps all channels private, so they couldn't be used
elsewhere, for example raid offload. Do you need a private allocation
or can you get away with a dynamically assigned channel?
So is there no way to reserve a channel as private if no one is using
it? It seems the current setup is async_tx or nothing.
