Hmm, I made it a choice, with the "Normal Config" as default, so that
allyesconfig will not set it. Does it get set for you when you do an 
allyesconfig?  I had to do the following:

  make allyesconfig
  make menuconfig <change to NON x86>

to get this option on for testing.

I'll have to extend my Kbuild foo to learn to do these inverse selects.
