X86_32 is only needed for a bunch of specific operations that make use of
the PMI. The driver can work without those (it has already been tested
on X86_64, where PMI cannot be used).

That was my mistake of not putting the mtrr.h include inside a #ifdef
CONFIG_MTRR. After fixing that and a few other things you pointed out
in your previous message, I was able to successfully compile uvesafb for
PPC (using a cross-compiler).
