Real 460EX SoC apparently does not expose a bridge device and having

bridge device.

This is only used by sam460ex and this fixes an issue with AmigaOS on
this machine so I'd like this to be merged for 9.0 please.
Is it a regression? Does it have a fixes: or resolves: tag?
Unless we broke it in this cycle, I would be inclined to wait,
and we can ask to put it in stable.
It's not something that broke in this cycle but since this does not affect
anything else than sam460ex I think it's OK to change this for 9.0. The
changes to 440 tlb in this cycle made sam460ex more useful to run AmigaOS
and this fixes the file system driver on it so it would make 9.0 really
usable. Otherwise people would have to wait longer until August or install
a stable update. Since this has low chance to break anything (tested with
AmogaOS and Linux and MorphOS does not boot due to do_io changes anyway) I
don't think we have to wait with this.
Hey, travelling / at a conference / on vacation for the next couple of
weeks.
It's just a bit late for hard freeze IMO, since we didn't break it
before the prior release or a bad security / crash bug. Will put it in
9.1.
