x86: update CONFIG_NUMA description

Impact: clarify/update CONFIG_NUMA text

CONFIG_NUMA description talk about a bit old thing.
So, following changes are better.

 o CONFIG_NUMA is no longer EXPERIMENTAL

 o Opteron is not the only processor of NUMA topology on x86_64 no longer,
   but also Intel Core7i has it.

          Enable NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access) support.

          The kernel will try to allocate memory used by a CPU on the
          local memory controller of the CPU and add some more
          NUMA awareness to the kernel.
 
-         For 32-bit this is currently highly experimental and should be only
-         used for kernel development. It might also cause boot failures.
-         For 64-bit this is recommended on all multiprocessor Opteron systems.
-         If the system is EM64T, you should say N unless your system is
-         EM64T NUMA.
+         For 64-bit this is recommended if the system is Intel Core 7i
+         (or later), AMD Opteron, or EM64T NUMA.
+
+         For 32-bit this is only needed on (rare) 32-bit-only platforms
+         that support NUMA topologies, such as NUMAQ / Summit, or if you
+         boot a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit NUMA platform.
+
+         Otherwise, you should say N.
