I mean, it would not be possible to check if the sid is in use without knowing
if the direction is MEM_TO_DEV or DEV_TO_MEM. The bitmask to check the
sid reservation is separate for MEM_TO_DEV and DEV_TO_MEM. 
To get the direction parameter, we would need to wait till dma_prep_slave_sg
is called, I guess. I saw in the documentation that the 'direction' element in 
dma_slave_config struct is deprecated and should use the value passed to
dma_prep_slave_sg().
