True, s390 doesn't have PCI. arm/armel/sh3/sh4 have PCI bus
on some systems,

That list is probably generatad and for some reason hasn't been
regenerated since armel was introduced.

Trouble is what do you mean with "32-bit" ? 32-bit memory bus? 32 bit
address space (most likely) ? default size of long ? and so on. The
amount of combinations can explode to hands.

The reason why not much effort has been done to make architecture-exclusion
easy is that the better solution is simply to make the code more
portable.
