Hrm. At least this patch makes things more consistent with the other
Documentation makefiles:

Documentation/timers/Makefile:hostprogs-$(CONFIG_X86) := hpet_example
Documentation/vDSO/Makefile:hostprogs-$(CONFIG_X86) :=
vdso_standalone_test_x86

But I agree, it is wrong in general - hostprogs should make sure the
host arch matches.

We could maybe just evaluate the host uname output:

  ifeq ($(shell uname -m),x86_64)
    hostprogs-$(CONFIG_X86) := ...
  endif

Then we're double safe ;). Not sure how to easily add x86 to the mix as
well here, but I'm not sure anyone cares. Do people still compile on
32bit x86 hosts? And expect Documentation/ examples to build?
