/proc/bus/pci is present only on a box that actually has PCI.

Since some m68k boxes have PCI, just clone (or enable) the code that is used
on other Linux platforms. If /proc/bus/pci is not present, that code should
notice and decide there are no PCI devices. If it doesn't the PCI code in
XFree86 is broken.
