I thought the idea was that with QOM the bus/device model would go away.
The DMA controller implements an AXIDMA interface, and the device has a AXIDMA
link that's connected to that interface.
Of course we then hit the usual problem with QOM that we can only link to
objects, and it's impossible to expose multiple interfaces of the same type.
The DMA controller probably needs a proxy object for each DMA channel.
