Subject: Define CONFIG_BOUNCE to avoid useless inclusion of bounce buffer
 logic.

The bounce buffer logic is included on systems that do not need it.
If a system does not have zones like ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM that
can lead to the use of bounce buffers then there is no need to reserve 
memory pools etc etc. This is true f.e. for SGI Altix.

Also nicifies the Makefile and gets rid of the tricky "and" there.
