This results in a compiler warning about the unused function
ni_release_gpct_mite_channel when compiling ni_atmio.c. It was unused
before of course, but now it is static, the compiler realizes it!

It could be fixed for now by moving the '#ifdef PCIDMA' and matching
'#endif' to surround the whole function, though I guess we want to try
and get rid of the #ifdef's eventually. It's tricky because
ni_mio_common.c isn't a standalone compilation unit, it's #include'd by
some other .c files. We might need to have a go at splitting it up at
some point.
