This means you get the chance to turn *off* PCI if you turn on
EMBEDDED. That is consistent with other uses of EMBEDDED; for
example, if you want to build the kernel for your iSeries partition
without VT, you have to turn on EMBEDDED. In other words, EMBEDDED
isn't really about embedded systems. :) It would be nice to have a
better name, but for now Stephen's patch is reasonable (although we
could make it just "if EMBEDDED" instead).
Paul.
