x86/Kconfig: Make CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK depend on X86_32
I was unable to find a good description of the ServerWorks CNB20LE chipset. However, it was probably exclusively used with the Pentium III processor (this CPU model was used in all references to it that I found where the CPU model was provided: dmesgs in [1] and [2]; [3] page 2; [4]-[7]). As is widely known, the Pentium III processor did not support the 64-bit mode, support for which was introduced by Intel a couple of years later. So it is safe to assume that no systems with the CNB20LE chipset have amd64 and the CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK may now depend on X86_32. Additionally, I have determined that most computers with the CNB20LE chipset did have ACPI support and this driver was inactive on them. I have submitted a patch to remove this driver, but it was met with resistance [8].
