This OMAP stuff has been creeping into x86 builds for a while.
Grep from my current build config ..

# CONFIG_OMAP_OCP2SCP is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_OMAP4 is not set
# CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS is not set
# CONFIG_OMAP_USB2 is not set

There was some other arm-ism that does the same that I' currently forgetting,
or maybe that got fixed..
