I considered adding another function that would create/attach a DSA in the
DSM registry, since that's already an intermediate step of dshash creation.
We could then use that function to generate the DSA in GetNamedDSMHash().
Would that work for your use-cases, or do you really need to use the same
DSA as the dshash table for some reason?
