Move the generic help text explaining each CPU type and what to
select under the "Processor Family" prompt and not under the
M486 option. Also, amend it with the missing options.

Pull x86 old platform removal from Peter Anvin:
 "This patchset removes support for several completely obsolete
  platforms, where the maintainers either have completely vanished or
  acked the removal.  For some of them it is questionable if there even
  exists functional specimens of the hardware"

Geert Uytterhoeven apparently thought this was a April Fool's pull request ;)

This was an optimization that made memcpy type benchmarks a little
faster on ancient (Circa 1998) IDT Winchip CPUs.  In real-life
workloads, it wasn't even noticable, and I doubt anyone is running
benchmarks on 16 year old silicon any more.

Given this code has likely seen very little use over the last decade,
let's just remove it.

<title>x86, 386 removal: Document Nx586 as a 386 and thus unsupported</title>

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.
