Great! Yes that is what I would like to see for x86. The general problem 
that Andi saw was that ZONE_DMA is not only used by device drivers (where 
we could add an explicit dependency) but also by subsystems for various 
nefarious purposes (f.e. SCSI). Maybe Andi can give us some more clarity 
on that issue?
