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 ...
