Xen only supports modern CPUs even when running a 32-bit kernel, and it now
requires a kernel built for a 64 byte (or larger) cache line:

Enforce the dependency with a whitelist of CPU configurations. In normal
distro kernels, CONFIG_X86_GENERIC is enabled, and this works fine. When this
is not set, still allow Xen to be built on kernels that target a 64-bit
capable CPU.
