I may be able to explain why..
Before the x68 merge we had an arch/i386/Kconfig.cpu but we did
not have any arch/x86_64/Kconfig.cpu.
When we merged i386 and x86_64 we included the 64 bit stuff in
arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu and thus it became used by both 32bit and 64bit
x86. But during this process we did not do the proper unification
of um - so here we live with the old style.
Blame the one who did the Kconfig unification..
I would assume um should do similar unifaction and get rid of the
i386/x86_64 split (bot I have not looked at doing it).
