Hi Arnd,

Both of these drivers won't work on 64-bit architectures unless they
are redesigned, since they store a virtual address pointer in a 32-bit

This limits the COMPILE_TEST option for the two drivers again to
only build them on 32-bit. This seems nicer than shutting up the
warnings, in case we ever actually want to use them on 64-bit,
as the warnings indicate which parts of the driver are currently
Actually we are using these drivers on 64-bits so obviously there are
not 32 bits only!

For mvneta currently we do not use BM on the 64-bits version. I agree
that there is a problem with mvneta_bm.c when building in 64-bits but it
should not prevent us to use the mvneta driver.
