FWIW, I've been occasionally removing the arch condition entirely to
build test on x86 as well.  The Intel VT-d code certainly allows for
devices described by ACPI, which I assume would fall under the platform
category, but I don't know of any systems that do this, let alone any
x86 platform devices that we'd actually want to expose to the user.
Eventually we might want to consider decoupling this from an arch-based
Kconfig option, but we could just as easily let the first non-ARM user
think about that problem.  Thanks,

Alex
