    It's default-enabled on the platforms that need it, see one of the
    earlier patches.

    Having the option to make it a loadable module is a definite benefit as
    far as I'm concerned, and I generally like the idea of having individually
    selectable symbols for consistency as that is what we have in other
    subsystems as well.

    Ideally I'd do away with all the 'select' statements for the platforms and
    only have them control dependencies as we do for most other subsystems.
    irqchip is one of the few exceptions here, though I understand the reason
    for having the most important drivers tied to the platform more closely.
