I don't see why we shouldn't indeed. If some drivers didn't make sense
on these archs they would rather be disabled by the arch configuration
anyway. Speakup itself is portable and should be working on any arch,
provided it has a virtual console.

The only historical reason I can see is that it was enabled only for
architectures which have a gtk installer image (for which we consider
that size doesn't matter).
