Qemu supports more or less the full PC braind^Wheritage, including the
good old too-old floppy controller. IP22 supports Indigo 2 systems
which have EISA support, so we only want ZONE_DMA if EISA is enabled.
For a bunch of other systems ZONE_DMA may be required to support b0rked
PCI cards that only support like 31-bit DMA addresses or even less.
