This Kconfig doesn't seem what it is needed there, as this should be an 
arch-dependent feature, and not something that the poor user should be
aware if a given architecture supports it or not. Also, the above will keep
causing warnings or errors with randconfigs.

Also, the "depends on HAVE_CPI" is bogus, as PCI already depends on 
HAVE_PCI:

	menuconfig PCI
	bool "PCI support"
	depends on HAVE_PCI
	help
	  This option enables support for the PCI local bus, including
	  support for PCI-X and the foundations for PCI Express support.
	  Say 'Y' here unless you know what you are doing.

So, instead, I would expect that a new HAVE_xxx option would be
added at arch/*/Kconfig, like:

	config X86
		...
		select HAVE_PCI_DIRECT_IO

It would also make sense to document it at Documentation/features/.

Agreed. HAVE_PCI_DIRECT_IO (or something similar) seems a more appropriate
name for it.

Thanks,
Mauro
