+menuconfig AXI
+	bool "AXI bus drivers"
+	help
+	  Support AXI (Advanced eXtensible Interface) busses, a on-chip
+	  interconnect specification for managing functional blocks in SoC
+	  designs, which is also often used in designs involving FPGAs (e.g.
+	  communication with IP cores in Xilinx FPGAs).
+
+	  These types of busses expose a virtual address space that can be
+	  accessed using different address widths (8, 16, and 32 are supported
+	  for now).
+
+	  Other similar bus architectures may be compatible as well.
