"A selects B" == "A depends on B, but please don't hide A when B is off
and silently switch B on when A is switched on".

config SCSI
        tristate "SCSI device support"
        depends on BLOCK
        select SCSI_DMA if HAS_DMA

So, SCSI doesn't actually need SCSI_DMA per se, but it apparently needs
it whenever HAS_DMA != n.

Sam, does kconfig recursively follow select statements and switch on
options which are select'ed by select'ed options?  I suppose it doesn't.

Maybe this would be better:

 config SCSI
        tristate "SCSI device support"
        depends on BLOCK
-       select SCSI_DMA if HAS_DMA

 config SCSI_DMA
        bool
-       default n
+       default y if SCSI && HAS_DMA
