As it was replied earlier this is not a random selection of 
architectures but only ones that implement support for RapidIO as system 
bus. If other architectures choose to adopt RapidIO we will include them 
as well.

On some platforms RapidIO can be the only system bus available replacing 
PCI/PCIe or RapidIO can coexist with PCIe.

As it is done now, RapidIO is configured in "Bus Options" (x86/PPC) or 
"Bus Support" (ARMs) sub-menu and from system configuration option it 
should be kept this way.

Current location of RAPIDIO configuration option is familiar to users of 
PowerPC and x86 platforms, and is similarly available in some ARM 
manufacturers kernel code trees.

drivers/Kconfig will be used for configuring drivers for peripheral 
RapidIO devices if/when such device drivers will be published.
