Better not - the code is specifically not PCI-only. And I can't see
how it would be harmful to be compiled on e.g. ARM (so the
merge perhaps really should use XEN_DOM0 alone, without
X86. If anything (and that may indeed be a minor oversight of
the original patch) one might want it to depend on USB_SUPPORT,
as without that no in-tree debug port capable driver would be
able to load (and hence interfere with Xen's use of the debug
port). However, as long as it builds fine with USB_SUPPORT
undefined (which I believe it does), having it in the shape it
is allows for out-of-tree drivers as well (as long as they make
use of the designated interface).
