Ugh... c code including c code... I didn't notice that until now.

The ni_mio_common.c file should just get turned into a library module.
Right now it's a bit of a mess. The individual drivers define PCIDMA
before including ni_mio_common.c. The only one that sets the define
is ni_pcimio but it's also included by ni_atmio and ni_mio_cs.
I'll look it over and see what might be done to fix it.
