menucofig[2.5.56] bug: help texts in "choice"
Hi,
In 2.5.56 I'm seeing a bug in "make menuconfig" on x86: selecting "processor type and features", then "processor family", and then "help" for any entry, I always get "There is no help available for this kernel option." even though there are extensive help texts in arch/i386/Kconfig.
BTW, just noticed that same is true for:
x86 - processor type and features - subarch
x86 - processor type and features - highmem
x86 - Bus options - PCI access mode
...
maybe a bug for the "choice" entry?

Move the help text from CONFIG_M386 entry to the choice entry. I didn't do this automatically since often the help text has to splitted manually. It's on my TODO list, but I still hope someone else would like to do this. :)
BTW menuconfig will only show the general help text. Showing the individual help text entries would require changing lxdialog, what I tried to avoid so far (so it's even lower on my TODO list).
