"ni_mio_common.c" holds common code included by "ni_pcimio.c",
"ni_atmio.c" and "ni_mio_cs.c", including a common initialization
function `ni_E_init()`. Amongst other things, this initializes some
counter subdevices to support comedi instructions and asynchronous
commands. However, even though it sets up the handlers to support
asynchronous commands on these subdevices, the handlers will return an
error unless the `PCIDMA` macro is defined (which is defined only in
"ni_pcimio.c"). If the `PCIDMA` macro is not defined, the comedi core
will needlessly allocate buffers to support the asynchronous commands.
Also, `s->async_dma_dir` is set to `DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL`, causing the
physical pages for the buffers to be allocated using
`dma_alloc_coherent()`.
If the comedi core cannot call `dma_alloc_coherent()` because
`CONFIG_HAS_DMA` is not defined, it will fail to allocate the buffers,
which ultimately causes `ni_E_init()` to fail.
Avoid the wastage and prevent the failure by only setting up
asynchronous command support for the counter subdevices if the `PCIDMA`
macro is defined.
