Per Alan Cox, Nx586 did not support WP in supervisor mode, making it a
386 by Linux kernel standards.  As such, it is too unsupported now.

The check_popad() routine tested for a 386-specific bug, and never
actually did anything useful with it anyway other than print a
message.

<title>x86/Kconfig: Clean up Kconfig defaults</title>

The main goal here is to have the resulting .config no carry any
options that aren't enabled and can't be (i.e such where the
default is "no" and can't be changed), so that if any such
option later gets a user visible prompt, the user will actually
be prompted on a "make ...oldconfig" rather than keeping the
previously invisible option disabled.

There's a little bit of other trivial cleanup mixed in here.

Building in support for either of these CPUs is pointless when
e.g. M686 was selected (since such a kernel would use cmov
instructions, which aren't available on these older CPUs).
