Subject: [PATCH v2] x86, kconfig: Pick up the .config arch version in 'make
 oldconfig'

I wasted a bunch of time today because I'd taken a .config from my 
test machine and tried to build it, and the existing setting of 
CONFIG_X86_32 got changed to the host system's bitness which was 
64-bit.

This patch fixes that. Last time I tried to fix this bug, I had 
introduced a regression that broke:

   make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig
   make ARCH=i386 randconfig

type of filtered-randconfig behavior which restricted randconfigs to 
64-bit and 32-bit configs, respectively.

This version fixes that so prior randconfig behavior is maintained,
although if a "filtered randconfig" is desired it seems like it would be
better to actually implement that properly, rather than relying on a
hack which preserves the obsolete 'ARCH=i386' and 'ARCH=x86_64' legacy
just to influence *one* of the many config options that might need to be
hard-coded if you actually want a 'randconfig' that produces a useful
end-result.

v2: Explicitly turn off CONFIG_64BIT in i386_defconfig. The default for
CONFIG_64BIT has *changed* (from n to y) for ARCH=x86, so it needs to be
explicitly turned off or 'make i386_defconfig' will give you 64-bit :)
