Well, with the '32-bit' qualifier the statement is true, isn't it?

ca5955dd5f08 removed a MID reference from the 32-bit list and added a 
different one to the 64-bit list:

--- a/arch/x86/Kconfig

          If you have one of these systems, or if you want to build a
          generic distribution kernel, say Y here - otherwise say N.

Thanks,
