We use !MMU internally here for R-class stuff (see the recently added
Cortex-R7 support).

Our CONFIG_MMU=n testing all happens on Versatile Express, and it should
even be possible to run !MMU on TC2 (IE with an A-class processor).
Perhaps if we feel that it isn't easy enough for people to test these
configurations I can submit a vexpress_nommu defconfig or similar? It
might need some additional patches to complete the story, but if it
makes it easier to catch these breakages early then maybe it is worth it?
