Subject: [2.6 patch] x86: revert X86_HT semantics change

The x86 unification resulted in CONFIG_X86_HT no longer being
set if (X86_32 && MK8).

After grep'ing through the tree I think the problem is that different 
places have different assumptions about the semantics of CONFIG_X86_HT,
either:
- hyperthreading or
- multicore
and the SCHED_SMT and SCHED_MC dependencies are just one of the 
symptoms.

This should be sorted out properly, but until then we should keep the 
2.6.23 status quo.
