Added now, thanks!

Ok, good to know. Given that there are no other chips that allow
PCI on !MMU kernels, I wonder if we should just make PCI itself
depend on MMU, and remove the "depends on MMU" for any PCI
drivers that currently have it.

There is no fundamental dependency here, but it is something that
breaks occasionally because of in-kernel interfaces that don't
work as expected on !MMU configurations, and with an extra
dependency we could stop fixing those.
