In case no_pci is configured, fslmc bus will still need the

It seems to be a hack.
VFIO is not only PCI.
Why --no-pci is impacting VFIO?
Anatoly?
At present there are only 2 users of VFIO. PCI and fsl-mc bus.
One options is that we always enable vfio irrespective of --no-pci flag.
My believe is that vfio-pci will be present in most system supporting
any other flavor of vfio (platform, fsl-mc etc).
The other option is what I proposed. i.e. if vfio is not already enabled
the platform is FSLMC bus, enable it.
