For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
information is displayed when running the new kernel
$ uname -m
x86
On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
$ uname -m
x66
This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

For x86 ARCH may say i386 or x86_64 and soon x86.
Rely on CONFIG_X64_32 to select between 32/64 or just
hardcode the value as appropriate.

With some small changes to kconfig makefile we can now
locate the defconfig files for i386 and x86_64 in
the configs/ subdirectory under x86.
make ARCH=i386 defconfig and make defconfig
works as expected also after this change.
But arch maintainers shall now update a defconfig file in
the configs/ directory.

Moving the ARCH specific Makefiles for i386 and x86_64
required a litle bit tweaking in the top-lvel Makefile.
SRCARCH is now set in the top-level Makefile
because we need this info to include the correct
arch Makefile.
