This quiets the following sparse warnings:

warning: symbol 'ni_release_gpct_mite_channel' was not declared. Should it be 
static?
warning: symbol 'ni_prime_channelgain_list' was not declared. Should it be 
static?

This results in a compiler warning about the unused function
ni_release_gpct_mite_channel when compiling ni_atmio.c.  It was unused
before of course, but now it is static, the compiler realizes it!

Ugh... c code including c code... I didn't notice that until now.

It could be fixed for now by moving the '#ifdef PCIDMA' and matching
'#endif' to surround the whole function, though I guess we want to try
and get rid of the #ifdef's eventually.  It's tricky because
ni_mio_common.c isn't a standalone compilation unit, it's #include'd by
some other .c files.  We might need to have a go at splitting it up at
some point.

The ni_mio_common.c file should just get turned into a library module.

Right now it's a bit of a mess. The individual drivers define PCIDMA
before including ni_mio_common.c. The only one that sets the define
is ni_pcimio but it's also included by ni_atmio and ni_mio_cs.

I'll look it over and see what might be done to fix it.

You have to be careful with module dependencies if doing that, as you don't want the ni_atmio module to depend on the mite and ni_tiocmd modules for example.
