What the mandatory-y keyword means is that every architecture that
doesn't provide its own header gets the default one, which seems
applicable here. Maybe the keyword is a bit misnamed and should be
default-y or something like that..

But in this case I think we have a clear case of x86 vs the rest, which
is unlikely to change in a major way.
