That would give us drivers that compile but don't work.
Not having stubs is intentional, cfr. the comment at the top of
include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-broken.h:

/* define the dma api to allow compilation but not linking of
* dma dependent code. Code that depends on the dma-mapping
* API needs to set 'depends on HAS_DMA' in its Kconfig
*/

and the comments in the commit that introduced it:

commit 1b0fac45878bb88759eec347c273285195649ff7
Author: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
Date: Sun Jul 15 23:40:26 2007 -0700

dma-mapping: prevent dma dependent code from linking on !HAS_DMA archs

Continuing the work started in 411f0f3edc141a582190d3605cadd1d993abb6df ...

This enables code with a dma path, that compiles away, to build without
requiring additional code factoring. It also prevents code that calls
dma_alloc_coherent and dma_free_coherent from linking whereas previously
the code would hit a BUG() at run time. Finally, it allows archs that set
!HAS_DMA to delete their asm/dma-mapping.h file.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
