Especially since reverting it will break a whole bunch of cell blades,
which wouldn't be nice (those cannot do PIO and have that controller).

In the meantime, we might "workaround" with a hack to only enable MMIO
on those cell
blades, something like:

#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
if (machine_is(cell))
mmio = 1;
#endif

That might get us out of the regression until we find the proper
solution ?

Cheers,
Ben.
