config_parse_tables() is a jumble of pointer arithmetic, due to the fact that on x86, we may be dealing with firmware whose native word size differs from the kernel's. This is not a concern on other architectures, and doesn't quite justify the state of the code, so let's clean it up by adding a non-x86 code path, constifying statically allocated tables and replacing preprocessor conditionals with IS_ENABLED() checks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
