Not sure how this solves the original problem. PCI should never be
mandatory (it is actually super useful to be able to build a very
small kernel without too many drivers), and there shouldn't be
configurations where the kernel doesn't build.

It is also my own responsibility to merge these things, and I'd rather
not delegate this, specially as it touches a bunch of other
subsystems.

Thanks,
