Please ditch this patch. I added these so the drivers weren't available
on architectures that didn't support direct virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt
mappings (e.g. sparc64 and powerpc64).

However, the drivers need to be checked if the hardware they are
supporting really need this interface, or that can be changed to use the
DMA API. If the latter, then the driver is just broken.

In gutsy, I'm just disabling the drivers that fail MODPOST for missing
virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt symbols.
