x86: Side-step lguest problem by only building cmpxchg8b_emu for pre-Pentium

Browse Source 
Commit 79e1dd05d1 "x86: Provide an alternative() based
cmpxchg64()" broke lguest, even on systems which have cmpxchg8b
support.  The emulation code gets used until alternatives get
run, but it contains native instructions, not their paravirt
alternatives.

The simplest fix is to turn this code off except for 386 and 486
builds.
