I am open for better suggestions. One idea that I had was to reverse
the logic in s390 (and use the common code HAS_IOMEM)
like
diff --git a/arch/s390/Kconfig b/arch/s390/Kconfig
index cbe1d978693a..123dd593ea20 100644
--- a/arch/s390/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/s390/Kconfig
@@ -715,8 +715,8 @@ endif # PCI
config PCI_DOMAINS
def_bool PCI
-config HAS_IOMEM
- def_bool PCI
+config NO_IOMEM
+ def_bool y if !PCI
config IOMMU_HELPER
def_bool PCI
This would enable CONFIG_VT and also CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE as long as
PCI is enabled. If DUMMY_CONSOLE is not enabled (e.g. due to missing PCI),
we get a crash in the VT layer as conswitchp is then null.
Somewhat tricky.
