This patch breaks build if PCI support is not enabled:

drivers/video/fbdev/efifb.c: In function âclaim_efifb_barâ:
drivers/video/fbdev/efifb.c:386:2: error: implicit declaration of function âpci_claim_resourceâ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

(x86 ifdefs are not enough, the patch should also check for PCI support)

Also please cc: linux-fbdev mailing list & me on fbdev related patches.
