There is already one and at least one more user coming which
require an access to Primary to Sideband bridge (P2SB) in order
to get IO or MMIO bar hidden by BIOS.
Create a driver to access P2SB for x86 devices.

Why do we need Kconfig option for this?
In one of previous review I was wondering how we could not to build this
at all. I don't like this option either.
I think better is to make P2SB available on CPUs which have one, and
that can be detected runtime. If P2SB is not available then p2sb_bar()
returns -ENODEV.
Would work to me, though still the same question: is it possible to
avoid building it on even most of Intel platforms, since there, I
assume, will be not many users of the module?
