x86/xen: add CPU dependencies for 32-bit build
[ Upstream commit 93cd0597649844a0fe7989839a3202735fb3ae67 ]
Xen only supports modern CPUs even when running a 32-bit kernel, and it now
requires a kernel built for a 64 byte (or larger) cache line:

inlined from 'xen_vcpu_setup_restore' at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:111:3,
inlined from 'xen_vcpu_restore' at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:141:3:
include/linux/compiler_types.h:435:45: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_287' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: sizeof(*vcpup) > SMP_CACHE_BYTES
arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:166:9: note: in expansion of macro 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
166 | BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(*vcpup) > SMP_CACHE_BYTES);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
Enforce the dependency with a whitelist of CPU configurations. In normal
distro kernels, CONFIG_X86_GENERIC is enabled, and this works fine. When this
is not set, still allow Xen to be built on kernels that target a 64-bit
capable CPU.
