In several patches we check on CONFIG_PCI (14,15,16,17 and 22) but we 
may have PCI without VFIO_PCI, wouldn't it be a problem?

Here we define a new CONFIG entry and I have two questions:

1- there is no dependency on VFIO_PCI while the functionality is 
obviously based on VFIO_PCI

2- Wouldn't it be possible to use this item and the single condition for 
the different checks we need through the new VFIO interpretation 
functionality.
