Sorry, this patch broke UML builds.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/27/618



I will drop this patch for tomorrow's linux-next.



CONFIG_X86 is not defined for ARCH=um.
So, I still think it is OK to replace one complicated line
in lib/raid6/x86.h

#if (defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__)) && !defined(__arch_um__)

with:

#ifdef CONFIG_X86




Also, I slightly prefer

#if defined(CONFIG_X86_32) && !defined(CONFIG_UML)

to

#if defined(__i386__) && !defined(__arch_um__)



But, we do not need to rush this now.


This patch does not affect the rest of this series.

Thanks.
