config PCI
        bool "PCI support" if !X86_VISWS && !X86_VSMP
        depends on !X86_VOYAGER
        default y

        help
          Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
          bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
          your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
          VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.

will make sure if X86_VSMP, the PCI=y

so NAK this patch.
