Ok this is what I was guessing was the reason, but didn't want to make
that assumption.

So if there are other cases like AMBA, FSL-MC where the devices can do
direct DMA, why do those buses not need a #ifdef section in this
function like CDX? Or put another way, why does CDX need special treatment?

Thanks for the pointer. I'll make some comments in that series about
bus notifiers.
