In case no_pci is configured, other buses e.g. fslmc bus will
still need the the vfio to be enabled.

You are enabling vfio_pci.
This part could stay conditionned by no_pci.

I was thinking you need vfio without vfio_pci. Am I right?
If yes, I suggest to enable only vfio root module.

yes

vfio_enable should be done only once. So, if I enable it for "vfio", 
pci_vfio_enable is not required.
In any case it is not storing any PCI specific data and there are no 
error checks here of "vfio_pci" enable failure.

So, if we use,
	vfio_enable("vfio");
	vfio_enabled |= vfio_is_enabled("vfio");

It seems no_pci check will not have any value.

let me know your thoughts?

I don't know the code managing VFIO.
Anatoly, please can you help meeting the requirement of
VFIO always enabled?
