In that case, it would be a bit more interesting to do a depends on
PCIE_XILINX, or whichever is the Kconfig symbol for the PCIe-to-AXI
bridge.

And there are some benefits to that, the major being that you can also
support other ARCHs as well (x86, ppc, mips, etc).

Naturally, if using a different PCIe-to-AXI bridge controller (other
than Xilinx's), it would be an idea to use that Kconfig symbol.
