Joerg, if you pick this up, would you mind capitalizing the subject
line to match the PCI convention, e.g.,

  PCI: Add dummy pci_acs_enabled() for CONFIG_PCI=n build

If it's too late for you to pick this up this week, I can include it
next week.  I assume this is not related to a specific change, i.e.,
it's not a regression?  Should it be marked for stable?
