Summary

The asmc(4) driver should work for 32-bit Intel-based Macs, in theory, if
the model details were added to the detection list. That being said,
32-bit Intel Macs were only released and available to the general public
for 8 months [1], so the value in maintaining i386 support is diminished
due to limited hardware access.

Remove 32-bit support for the driver officially to make it clear its use is
not supported.

This should fix building NOTES.i386 by proxy as well.

Relnotes: yes
MFC after: 2 weeks
Fixes: f224591746b ("Add ASMC_DEBUG make option")
Fixes: 8342d9f7b5f ("asmc(4): Stop building it on i386, as...")

Test Plan

I've been using this patch in one of my local git trees for quite a while and have run the change through make universe at least once.

This is unnecessary. Not sure why this is in this diff.

Remove superfluous line added to sys/conf/files.amd64 by accident
