  Hi,

It's just simplicity. If you want to read a few times from the same
field (like in ACPI tables, read the data size and then the data), you
need a way to enable and disable the selector and manage the current
offset for that entry. This is already provided with the "old"
interface.

Could be handled with a 'select' control bit.  Only when set select
entry and reset offset to zero.

Also: would it make sense to allow an *array* of FWCfgDmaAccess structs?
With a 'more' bit in control we could indicate that there are more
entries.  I'm not sure firmware would actually use that though ...

Seems far-fetched.

Thanks
