SubjectRe: [PATCH 02/12] SFI, x86: add CONFIG_SFI

Instead of 'depends on X86' it's cleaner to add a HAVE_ARCH_SFI
Kconfig variable to arch/x86/Kconfig, and turn the above into:

depends on HAVE_ARCH_SFI

That will make it easier to enable it on other architectures such as
IA64, should the need arise - and it's cleaner in any case.

Kconfig uses 'default n' by default, so this line can be left out.

Nitpick: s/Operating System/Linux kernel

(and even if we want to formulate it in a general way, it should be
'operating system')
