Subject: [PATCH v3] firmware: only allow EDD on x86

Rather than have the EDD depend on !ia64 (and assuming that only ia64,
x86, x86_64 will be including this Kconfig), have EDD depend on the only
arches which can support this code.  This should allow all other arches
to cleanly include the firmware Kconfig.

Also simplify the x86 string used by FIRMWARE_MEMMAP to match EDD.

       Add the firmware-provided (unmodified) memory map to /sys/firmware/memmap.
       That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up parameter area
