This seems to be removing the existing handling of DMA to the
TYPE_STREAM_SINK via the stream_* functions -- that doesn't look
right. I don't know any of the details of this device, but if it
has two different modes of DMA then we need to support both of them,
surely ?

If the device really should be doing its own DMA memory
accesses, please don't use cpu_physical_memory_write() for
this. The device should take a TYPE_MEMORY_REGION link property,
and the board code should set this to tell the device what
its view of the world that it is doing DMA to is. Then the
device in its realize method calls address_space_init() to create
an AddressSpace for this MemoryRegion, and does memory accesses
using functions like address_space_read()/address_space_write()/
address_space_ld*()/etc. (Examples in hw/dma, eg pl080.c.)
Note that the address_space* functions have a return value
indicating whether the access failed, which you should handle.
(The pl080 code doesn't do that, but that's because it's older code.)
