So long as this hardware is part of specific SoCs, we should only
enable it for the CPU architectures used in those SoCs.  That's arm64,
right?  (Possibly also mips64, but we don't support Cavium MIPS SoCs at
all yet.)

Shouldn't we also enable CONFIG_THUNDER_NIC_{PF,BGX,RGX} along with
this?

It is easier to write an incorrect program than to understand a correct
one.
