Well, with the '32-bit' qualifier the statement is true, isn't it?

ca5955dd5f08 removed a MID reference from the 32-bit list and added a
different one to the 64-bit list:

--- a/arch/x86/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig
@@ -549,12 +549,12 @@ config X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM
RDC R-321x SoC
SGI 320/540 (Visual Workstation)
STA2X11-based (e.g. Northville)
- Moorestown MID devices

64-bit platforms (CONFIG_64BIT=y):
Numascale NumaChip
ScaleMP vSMP
SGI Ultraviolet
+ Merrifield/Moorefield MID devices

If you have one of these systems, or if you want to build a
generic distribution kernel, say Y here - otherwise say N.

Thanks,
