[PATCH 1/4] alpha: replace dead links in Kconfig help text

From: Matt Turner

Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 13:29:08 EST


The Linux/Alpha FAQ, the unix-ag LX164 overview, the Rawhide install
HOWTO and the Ruffian FAQ are all gone. Point the "Alpha system type"
help at the system and motherboard lists on the alphalinux.org wiki
instead, give LX164 a one-line description in place of its link, and
drop the others.
