Ah, you are right: UML has no DMA and no IOMEM, but s390 can
have IOMEM (if PCI is enabled) and always sets HAS_DMA.

In practice, I think the HAS_DMA symbol is not as well-defined
as it should be, it basically refers to the presence of the dma-mapping.h
API, and that only really makes sense when you also have IOMEM,
so there might be an implied dependency between the two, but it's
not enforced or actually true.
