Actually, most ARM platforms didn't need PCI domains.

So, original patch is

+config PCI_DOMAINS
+        def_bool y
+        depends on PCI && ARCH_CXXXXXX
+

But I removed the "&& ARCH_CXXXXXXX" before I provided the patch.
Because ARCH_CXXXXXXX is not exist in ARM Linux kernel now (maybe it
would be committed at someday)

I traced other ARM platforms,
some platforms like Marvell Orion5x seems has both PCI and PCIe host
controller,
Maybe they can use PCI domain to control their PCI/PCIe host controller.
