I'm having a hard time caring about that, the arch code can always do an
"if whatever". If that board is what I think it actually does have
audio on it, either the defconfig was never updated or the driver wasn't
merged into mainline.

I guess (modulo the issues below). Killing the wrapper and making the
existing selection of DMA support actually select DMA support does avoid
the redundancy.

This code is broken in general - at least s3c64xx has AC'97. That's
broken anyway though.
