AFAICS all three of these bus drivers are only proxying a struct 
dma_map_ops * pointer around, so if they used the set_dma_ops() helper 
they shouldn't even need these selects at all. Only INTEL_MIC_HOST 
appears to have a logical dependency on DMA_OPS for actual functionality.

However, I have a vague feeling you might not be fond of those dma_ops 
helpers, and I have no great objection to this one-liner as-is, so 
(modulo the couple of commit message typos),
