hifn_795x has a dependency on HIGHMEM64G not being set. This config option allows you to have a 32-bit processor and more than 4G's of RAM. In Precise, this is the main difference between the PAE and Non-PAE kernels.

In Quantal the i386 non-pae flavor has been eliminated. The generic-pae flavor has become the generic flavor, and thus HIGHMEM64G=y which then has a trickle down affect of preventing hifn_795x from being enabled.

We cannot disable HIGHMEM64G, thus hifn_795x won't be enabled due to it's dependency chain of !ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT.
