Here is update. Peter, does it look good for you too?

Subject: kcmp: Make it to depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86
architecture) a number of other archs wire it up as well:
xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips, microblaze, m68k (not taking
into account those who uses <asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall
numbers definitions).

But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still
depends on former config-x86. Thus get rid of this
limitation and make kcmp.o depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
option.
