Haha, oops :)

A result of the recent rework of the PCI config symbols:

eb01d42a77785ff96b6e66a2a2e7027fc6d78e4a is the first bad commit
commit eb01d42a77785ff96b6e66a2a2e7027fc6d78e4a

    PCI: consolidate PCI config entry in drivers/pci
    
    There is no good reason to duplicate the PCI menu in every architecture.
    Instead provide a selectable HAVE_PCI symbol that indicates availability
    of PCI support, and a FORCE_PCI symbol to for PCI on and the handle the
    rest in drivers/pci.

But that patch really just exposed an existing problem. CURRITUCK
selects PPC4xx_PCI_EXPRESS which depends on PCI, and PCI is user
selectable in that config.

Previously the powerpc PCI symbol was default y for CURRITUCK so it was
enabled by default and we didn't see a warning.

But a user could always just turn it off and then they'd get the same
warning we're seeing now.

I'll send a patch to force PCI on for CURRITUCK.
