CPU specific features should generally be controlled by
CPU_SUP_xxx options rather than CONFIG_Mxxx, to allow
generic kernels to be built that work with all of them.

Replace the few options that don't follow this scheme
with checks on either CPU_SUP_xxx or X86_PAE by itself.

This is problematic. See commit 93cd05976498.

Maybe use "depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT >= 6" instead?
