  that's what i thought, but i'll look more closely to see if there's
some subtlety there.

  at the very least, i can submit a patch for both:

  * .../pci/Kconfig
  * .../pci/pcie/Kconfig

that removes all the extraneous dependencies on PCI and PCIEPORTBUS,
respectively, and just wraps the files in a single "if" condition,
unless someone has a reason why that wouldn't work.  you know, along
the lines of acpi/Kconfig and many others:

  menuconfig ACPI
        bool "ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support"
        ... snip ...

  if ACPI
        ... big snip, entire rest of file ...
  endif # ACPI
