[PATCH 07/10] x86: add remaning bits from x86_64 to Kconfig.i386

[Sam Ravnborg]

A few symbols remained in Kconfig.x86_64 where the
dependencies were different or the help text was
different from the i386 one.
Modify all relevant Kconfig.i386 symbols such that
they have X86_64 dependencies for x86_64 specific items
and update the help text as appropriate.
