Subject: Kconfig label updates

Hi,

I want to update the PCI Kconfig labels so they're more consistent and
useful to users, something like the patch below.  IIUC, the items
below are all IBM-related; please correct me if not.

I'd also like to expand (or remove) "RPA" because Google doesn't find
anything about "IBM RPA", except Robotic Process Automation, which I
think must be something else.

Is there some text expansion of RPA that we could use that would be
meaningful to a user, i.e., something he/she might find on a nameplate
or in a user manual?

Ideally the PCI Kconfig labels would match the terms used in
arch/.../Kconfig, e.g.,

  config PPC_POWERNV
    bool "IBM PowerNV (Non-Virtualized) platform support"

  config PPC_PSERIES
    bool "IBM pSeries & new (POWER5-based) iSeries"

  config MARCH_Z900
    bool "IBM zSeries model z800 and z900"

  config MARCH_Z9_109
    bool "IBM System z9"
