Only compile tested (sorry, forgot to mention that).
Actually I don't have this hardware anywhere, I just happened to had 
this in my config - probably just by accident as a leftover from some 
experiments.
So if you have access to any of those platforms, please give it a test.

But it would be selected by allyesconfig or randconfig, right? And with 
more and more platforms moving into single zImage, we will spot more of 
those, as one "64-bit platform" will promote the types for every other.

Sorry, no hidden DMA controller on Highbank ;-)
