CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_ATTRS is currently used to enable the functions to
set/get the DMA attribute values. Poking through the headers, it looks
like the struct dma_attrs is defined regardless of the
CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_ATTRS setting, so in that respect
we always seem to "have" DMA attributes (if we have DMA), but they may
not always be meaningful (ie. set to some value).

Very much appreciated.
