Subject: [PATCH 107/114] x86: cleanup, introduce CONFIG_NON_STANDARD_PLATFORMS

Introduce a Y/N Kconfig option for non-PC x86 platforms.

Make VisWS, RDC321 and SGI/UV depend on this.

+	  If you disable this option then the kernel will only support
+	  standard PC platforms. (which covers the vast majority of
