[PATCH 0/1] Nuking x86 "generic"

For anyone who is reading this mailing list and expecting to read
everything, a fair amount also gets discussed on GitHub.

Seems consensus on reducing x86 by one target is emerging.  In fact
someone proposed getting rid of x86-32 completely.
(https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/13924#discussion_r1395516142)

In light of this, I guess someone needs to go ahead and send a patch
proposing a removal.  As such here is one to remove "generic".  My
reasoning is "generic" is about the least generic target possible.  While
many P4s were made, they weren't the most popular due to power
consumption and poor performance.
