Re: [patch] i386: require ACPI for NUMA with generic architecture

X86 Generic Architecture (X86_GENERICARCH) includes support for
Summit architecture.  Enabling X86_GENERICARCH, SMP and HIGHMEM64G
allows NUMA to be selected but that configuration will not build
because it requires ACPI for the Summit NUMA support.

Fix:
        require ACPI for NUMA support with X86_GENERICARCH

        update the menu comment noting this

        set default NR_CPUS to 32 for GENERICARCH (since it
                includes BIGSMP and SUMMIT which default to 32)


Good catch.    With X86_GENRICARCARCH perhaps NUMA should always be on
or am I missing something with how it is supposed to work?  Shouldn't
X86_GENRICARCARCH buy you the ablility to boot(correctly) on all the
diffrent archs listed?

Thanks,
 Keith
