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.
