Because arch/x86/kernel/{mfgpt,geode}_32.c are built if
CONFIG_MGEODE_LX is set, and they will happily clobber each other.  We
need to get a broken-out mfgpt driver completed, and then we can rework
or remove the arch/x86/kernel/{mfgpt,geode}_32.c stuff.

It's probably possible to add a separate config for that
(CONFIG_GEODE_LEGACY or something?) rather than having it depend upon
CONFIG_MGEODE_LX, but I haven't looked into it.  I'd rather spend the
time fixing it correctly than fretting about with the various config
permutations. :)
