x32: Allow x32 to be configured

Browse Source 
At this point, one should be able to build an x32 kernel.

Note that for now we depend on CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION.  Long term, x32
and IA32 should be detangled.

Include code to run binaries for the x32 native 32-bit ABI
for 64-bit processors. An x32 process gets access to the
full 64-bit register file and wide data path while leaving
pointers at 32 bits for smaller memory footprint.
You will need a recent binutils (2.22 or later) with
elf32_x86_64 support enabled to compile a kernel with this
option set.
