config X86_GENERICARCH
       bool "Generic architecture"
        depends on X86_32
       help
          This option compiles in the NUMAQ, Summit, bigsmp, ES7000, default
          subarchitectures.  It is intended for a generic binary kernel.
          if you select them all, kernel will probe it one by one. and will
          fallback to default.
