I think it is better to use irqchip.

For DMA there is already an arbiter mechanism for arbitration of
virtual channels over physical channels, this is not much different,
the DMA might need some different tweaking but should be solved
in that subsystem I think.

I don't see any way to really abstract this pretty simple crossbar
for reuse across subsystems.

Yours,
