If you disable this option then the kernel will only support
standard PC platforms. (which covers the vast majority of
systems out there.)
If you enable this option then you'll be able to select support
for the following (non-PC) 32 bit x86 platforms:
AMD Elan
NUMAQ (IBM/Sequent)
RDC R-321x SoC
SGI 320/540 (Visual Workstation)
Summit/EXA (IBM x440)
Unisys ES7000 IA32 series
Moorestown MID devices
If you have one of these systems, or if you want to build a
generic distribution kernel, say Y here - otherwise say N.
