I think the answer is... those primecell drivers need fixing in some way.
Re-defining CS, DS and ES in drivers is rather silly given that they're
x86 segment register names - so if PL330 can be fixed to make its names
more specific, that sorts it out.

As for PL08x, which depends on asm/hardware/pl080.h, I think that's going
to have to be a config dependency - it would be nice to move that header
into drivers/dma and make it private to the amba-pl08x driver, but we have
definitions in there which platforms supply to the pl08x driver via
platform data.  I'd rather not stuff the register definitions into
include/linux/platform_data/...

Note also that hpa has only reported the first errors he encountered, so
there may be more, and that's somehting which needs checking.
