Looks like the revert was applied to main line (and not this fix). In
the follow-up the complete (fixed) patch set rebased on the latest main
line: First patch for Kconfig/ARC and as requested a cleaned up second
patch for x86. I could only test the second patch on one physical
machine and one VM so some more testing might be required on x86.

Greetings,
