So... do you suggest to squash with request/reliquish locality stuff?
Just checking because this is 1/3 :)

Yes. The old hardware triggered SMM to do a DMA transfer (those that
so called ACPI start). As a workaround for some of the hardware the
driver always sets the CRB start flag also in the control area.

That's why I also propose that we replace them with a single flag.

As a sanity check this would probably make sense.
