That sounds like a good heuristic.

At least in theory apparently :(

That still sounds like a useful compromise.

It would be really nice to have dev_is_amba and dev_is_plaform helpers
to reduce the ifdef mess.

But it should be okay even without that cleanup.

I find this way to deal with an overflow really odd, but given that it's
just moved around I'm not going to complain.
