Add a hidden configuration for an architecture or machine to select to show that the pata_platform driver should be show in the configuration. This method is used to allow each individual machine/arch to specify this, instead of creating large "depends on" on the driver's Kconfig menu. If this patch is acceptable, I will submit a patch to move ARCH_RPC to select ARCH_HAS_PATA_PLATFORM.
