From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> The x86 CPU selection menu is confusing for a number of reasons. One of them is how it's possible to build a 32-bit kernel for a small number of early 64-bit microarchitectures (K8, Core2) but not the regular generic 64-bit target that is the normal default. There is no longer a reason to run 32-bit kernels on production 64-bit systems, so simplify the configuration menu by completely splitting the two into 32-bit-only and 64-bit-only machines. Testing generic 32-bit kernels on 64-bit hardware remains possible, just not building a 32-bit kernel that requires a 64-bit CPU.
