Subject: [RFC] arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu: Update with new gcc disponible 64bits CPU uarchs.

Good afternon!

Are there reasons to 'Kconfig.cpu' and 'Makefile' not contains the
'gcc -mtune=???'
recent options?

Well, bellow I send some diffs (untested) just for clarifications.

Best regards,

Gustavo da Silva.
