x86/Kconfig: Document CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG
This configuration option had no help text, so add it.
CONFIG_EXPERT is enabled on some distribution kernels, so people using a
distribution kernel's configuration as a starting point will see this
option.
[ mingo: Standardized the new Kconfig text a bit. ]

+ Add support for accessing the PCI configuration space as a memory
+ mapped area. It is the recommended method if the system supports
+ this (it must have PCI Express and ACPI for it to be available).
+
+ In the unlikely case that enabling this configuration option causes
+ problems, the mechanism can be switched off with the 'pci=nommconf'
+ command line parameter.
+
+ Say N only if you are sure that your platform does not support this
+ access method or you have problems caused by it.
+
+ Say Y otherwise.
