Each arch has its own list of installable targets.  VMLINUX is always
allowed for every architecture because everything has to build that
before converting to a bootable format.  In CML1 the help text for a
choice is filed under the first option on the list, i.e. VMLINUX.  I
tried to make that text as generic as possible but don't sweat it, in
CML2 each choice gets its own help text and the problem goes away.
