Testing pci_mvebu.c with Kirkwood SoCs

Hi Pali,

While we are at it, this default should be changed in drivers/usb/host/Kconfig.

config USB_XHCI_MVEBU
        bool "MVEBU USB 3.0 support"
        default y

Setting this default correctly will save a couple Kbytes for other boards.
        default y if ARCH_MVEBU

Thanks,
Tony
