Are you assuming that the compiler will optimize out the dev->dma_ops
== &dma_virt_ops test if CONFIG_DMA_VIRT_OPS=n such that no reference to the
dma_virt_ops symbol appears in the object file? Are you sure all compilers
and compiler versions that are used to build the Linux kernel will do that?

Thanks,
