Ack, I will change the prompt text to "Intel and Zhaoxin MCE features".

By the way, would it also make sense to make the prompt conditional?

	prompt "Intel and Zhaoxin MCE features" if PROCESSOR_SELECT

One of my initial motivations was to reduce the number of questions
asked when building a custom kernel. For a kernel with broad x86 vendor
support, keeping these MCE features enabled by default seems reasonable
to me.
