Hmm, my reading of it was different. AFAICS it should affect all
platforms with CONFIG_ARCH_SA1100 + CONFIG_SA1111 - the bus notifier
from sa1111_init() will initialise dmabounce for everything where
sa1111_configure_smc() has punched a hole in the DMA mask to handle the
addressing erratum. sa1111_needs_bounce() looks to be a further
consideration for platforms where DMA *additionally* cannot target an
entire bank of memory at all.

As above, bouncing should also happen for every other 1/8/16/32MB
(depending on configuration) of memory, see the "Figure out if we need
to bounce from the DMA mask" case in needs_bounce().
Thanks,
Robin.
