menucofig[2.5.56] bug: help texts in "choice"

[Dominik Brodowski]

Hi,

In 2.5.56 I'm seeing a bug in "make menuconfig" on x86: selecting "processor
type and features", then "processor family", and then "help" for any entry,
I always get "There is no help available for this kernel option." even
though there are extensive help texts in arch/i386/Kconfig.

BTW, just noticed that same is true for:
x86 - processor type and features - subarch
x86 - processor type and features - highmem
x86 - Bus options - PCI access mode 
...

maybe a bug for the "choice" entry?

Move the help text from CONFIG_M386 entry to the choice entry. I didn't
do this automatically since often the help text has to splitted
manually. It's on my TODO list, but I still hope someone else would like
to do this. :)
BTW menuconfig will only show the general help text. Showing the
individual help text entries would require changing lxdialog, what I
tried to avoid so far (so it's even lower on my TODO list).
