[PATCH v2 1/1] x86/defconfigs: Explicitly unset CONFIG_64BIT in i386_defconfig

[Andy Shevchenko]

A recent refresh of the defconfigs got rid of the following
(unset) configuration option:

  # CONFIG_64BIT is not set

Innocuous as it seems, when the configuration file is saved again
the behavior is changed so that CONFIG_64BIT=y.

Currently,

  $ make i386_defconfig
  $ grep CONFIG_64BIT .config
  CONFIG_64BIT=y

whereas previously (and with this patch):

  $ make i386_defconfig
  $ grep CONFIG_64BIT .config
  # CONFIG_64BIT is not set

This was found by cross-compilation of the 32-bit kernel on 64-bit machine
with the result of non-bootable kernel on Intel Galileo Gen 2 board.

Restore the missing explicitly unset CONFIG_64BIT in 32-bit defconfig.

Can it be applied now?
