It looks like we have a mix of the two two, with most drivers
using 'select' and only a few ones using 'depends on'. Mixing
the two often leads to trouble, especially for user-visible
symbols.
Making it a hidden symbol that is always selected is probably
fine, but then every driver selecting it must also use 'depends
on X86 && PCI'.
