Hmmm, after a bit more thought: I someone wants to run a
non-PCI-UHCI-enabled kernel in an x86 PC we would need one more config
option.
USB_UHCI_SUPPORT_NON_PCI_HC is currently needed to include the necessary
stuff for the non-PCI HC so that one must be set. One additional option
could be introduced to still include the accesses to the legacy support
register. Another way to solve this would be to add defined(CONFIG_X86)
in uhci-pci.c (change to patch 6 in V2):
