[PATCH] update CONFIG_PCI description

[Christoph Hellwig]

The current one doesn't even make sense anymore on i386 where it
apparently came from.

Hm, I thought I already updated that one.  I think it's bad style to write
in the negative like that ... how about:

	All IA-64 machines use PCI/PCI-X/PCI Express busses.  Unless you
	are using a simulator without PCI support, you should say Y here.
