The dependency is redundant since all drivers set their specific arch
dependencies. The NET_DMA option is modified to be enabled only on platforms
where it is known to have a positive effect. HAS_DMA is added as an explicit
dependency for the DMADEVICES menu.

This enables the use of DMA engines in the network stack to
offload receive copy-to-user operations, freeing CPU cycles.
