The order of the entries matches the order they appear in Kconfig.
In 2011, AMD Elan was moved to Kconfig.cpu and the dependency on
X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM was dropped in
commit ce9c99af8d4b ("x86, cpu: Move AMD Elan Kconfig under "Processor family"")
Support for Moorestown MID devices was removed in 2012 in
commit 1a8359e411eb ("x86/mid: Remove Intel Moorestown")
SGI 320/540 (Visual Workstation) was removed in 2014 in
commit c5f9ee3d665a ("x86, platforms: Remove SGI Visual Workstation")

Hello,
I have re-reviewed my old patches resubmitted recently by David Heidelberg
and applied today by Ingo Molnar.
Only two of them needed updates, the other one was in
commit 9232c49ff31c ("x86/Kconfig: Enable X86_X2APIC by default and improve help text")
I am sending the updates as separate patches to be applied on top of tip.git.
Once again thanks to David.
Greetings,
Mateusz

Was it? It's rather hidden and not recommended as far as I understand.

Well, with the '32-bit' qualifier the statement is true, isn't it?
ca5955dd5f08 removed a MID reference from the 32-bit list and added a
different one to the 64-bit list:

Ah, right, we are talking only about the _list_ here and not about the
support code. Now it's all clear, indeed.
