x86: update CONFIG_NUMA description

Browse Source 
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.
