Woops, I added an extra measure into my analysis, that Cmaj.7 chord shouldn't be written there. I think when you listen to Stairway the emphasis is definetly within the relative minor key. Basically, the 1st 4 chords is nothing more then a Aminor chord w/a descending chromatic bass line. The contrary motion really makes the progression. This progression is really common among jazz standards and latin music (In A Sentimental Mood, My Funny Valentine, etc..).
