The way we're heading is that the DEBUG_LL options will only work for
one hardcoded machine where you need to select the uart type and address
in Kconfig. Or just patch it in.

I think that would at minimum break things for autogenerated
mach-types.h where if only some other non-am335xevm machine is
selected (like omap-generic) things don't get optimized out any
longer as they currently do.
