Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] x86: Kconfig cleanups and help text improvements

Hello,

There are some problems with Kconfig help texts in the kernel. They are
frequently confusing and use language that is difficult to understand
for people unfamiliar with the feature. Sometimes, the help text was not
updated after important kernel or ecosystem changes. References to
something "future" or "old" are also usually given without specifying
any dates.

First version of this patch series was sent out in February 2022.

Greetings,
Mateusz

Mateusz Jończyk (10):
  x86/Kconfig: enable X86_X2APIC by default and improve help text
  x86/apic: fix panic message when x2APIC is not supported
  x86/Kconfig: always enable ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE
  x86/Kconfig: drop X86_32_NON_STANDARD
  x86/Kconfig: move all X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM options together
  x86/Kconfig: update lists in X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM
  x86/Kconfig: document CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG
  x86/Kconfig: make CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK depend on X86_32
  x86/Kconfig: document release year of glibc 2.3.3
  x86/Kconfig: remove CONFIG_ISA_BUS
