The Intel Management Engine Interface is only present on x86 platforms
and Intel Xe graphics cards. Hence add a dependency on X86 or DRM_XE,
to prevent asking the user about this driver when configuring a kernel
for a non-x86 architecture and without Xe graphics support.

Add DRM_I915 here too, MEI may depend on it.
