Grr..

The error appears to be caused by the dma alloc/free in comedi_buf.c.
These only happen if the (s->async_dma_dir != DMA_NONE). The comedi
core defaults the async_dma_dir to DMA_NONE. The only comedi drivers
that set it are ni_660x, ni_mio_common, and ni_pcidio.

The mite driver also has a dma_alloc/free.

Ian, can you think of a better solution than just making comedi depend on HAS_DMA?

Thanks,
Hartley
