x86: Disable AMD_NUMA for 32bit for now
Commit 2706a0bf7b ("x86, NUMA: Enable CONFIG_AMD_NUMA on 32bit
too") enabled AMD NUMA for 32bit too. Unfortunately, SPARSEMEM
on 32bit had rather coarse (512MiB) addr->node mapping
granularity due to lack of space in page->flags. This led to
boot failure on certain AMD NUMA machines which had 128MiB
alignment on nodes.
Patches to properly detect this condition and reject NUMA
configuration are posted[1] but deemed too pervasive for merge
at this point (-rc6). Disable AMD NUMA for 32bit for now and
re-enable once the detection logic is merged.
