This isn't right. There are USB host controllers that use PIO, not
DMA. The HAS_DMA dependency should go with the controller driver, not
the USB core.
On the other hand, the USB core does call various routines like
dma_unmap_single. It ought to be possible to compile these calls even
when DMA isn't enabled. That is, they should be defined as do-nothing
stubs.

That seems reasonable.
