Could we expand a bit on why CONFIG_X86_GENERIC is required?  It would
seem to me that option should have been selected by default already?

No, the kernel's default for 32-bit x86 builds is still using the M686.

I guess this is for historical reasons.

BTW, there is a kernel patch pending letting CONFIG_XEN depend on more
recent cpu types for 32-bit builds. I'm planning to take that patch
after OSStest has been changed to no longer use M686.
