There are many folks working on FPGAs who use the Xilinx driver.

Also, we should not remove support for an in-tree driver because an
out-of-tree driver conflicts. The right approach is to get the
out-of-tree driver upstream.

Enabling general support for PCIe in the defconfig should be fine, though.
