The DmaBufferAlignment currently defaults to 4, which is dangerously
small and may result in lost data on platform that perform non-coherent
DMA. So instead, take the CWG value from the cache info registers.

Could we hide the internal structure of mCpu here by moving this to a
helper function and calling
  InitializeDma (&mCpu);
(or something)?

We could, but why? The actual struct is defined 10 lines up

It's just that it's the only place in this function we're prodding the
internals of the object directly. Messes slightly with my zen.
Not a strong opinion, just a preference.
