Having been in a similar situation myself (needing to share resources between DMA, ethernet and function offload), I recommend creating a separate small library that all those drivers use, instead of making some sort of dependency between drivers in completely different parts of the kernel.
Well, the DMA driver should be in soon. Actually, it should be in now, because I saw a blurb in this month's Linux Journal about it. As soon as I find it :-), I'll post a new patch that adds arbitration.
