Well, I don't like these negative !S390 depends as well. But I can't
help it, there is no other existing config symbol that can be used for a
positive dependency. Hardware that is built into the machine and is not
attached via some kind of bus does not have any dependency. The only
possible way to deal with it would be a positive list of architecture
that have that piece of hardware. But the feeling was that a negative
list is better in that case. So until you have one of your clever ideas
we are pretty much stuck, aren't we ?
