Ok, just so I'm clear, you want to be able to set the USRIO register 
based on a cpu_is_foo() test which requires mach/cpu.h to be included.  

For other architectures we may not have mach/cpu.h and the cpu_is_foo() 
macros, so we'd still need to protect all of that with "#ifdef 
CONFIG_ARCH_AT91" tests.  Is that okay?
