DW_DMAC is a generic platform driver which supports AVR32, ARM and
Intel (ACPI case) platforms.

We may do that option invisible to user

and then use

config DW_DMAC
         select DW_DMAC_BIG_ENDIAN_IO if ARCH=AVR32

I don't know if we will have any platform in future which has such
difference in endianess between CPU and DMA IP block.
