Btw, I really wonder if this should actually be used through symbol_get.
It seems like the MIPS/alchemy boards should simply require MMC to be
built in and not modular, or the IRQ handlers should move into a driver.
That would be a much less mechanical change, but this use really looks
a bit odd. And makes me wonder if we should only allow symbol_get
on symbols specifically marked to supported it, but that would be
another incremental step.
