HAS_RAPIDIO option is intended for SOCs that have built in SRIO 
controllers, like TI KeyStoneII or FPGAs. Because RapidIO subsystem core 
is required during RapidIO port driver initialization, having separate 
option allows us to control available build options for RapidIO core and 
port driver (bool vs. tristate) and disable module option if port driver 
is configured as built-in.
