The Kconfig for the ePAPR hypervisor byte channel driver has a depends on PPC,
which means it would compile on all PowerPC platforms, even though it's
only been tested on Freescale platforms. Change the Kconfig to depend on
FSL_SOC instead.

The problem is the dependency on MSR_GS, which is defined only for Book-E
PowerPC chips, not all PowerPC.
So I gave it some more thought, and technically ePAPR extends beyond Book-E, so
it's

if you load this driver on a machine that is not a guest? Will things
break? Shouldn't you still refuse to load somehow?
This is in the udbg code, which falls under the category of, turn this on only
if you
