I'm not sure why ELAN belongs in the EXTENDED_PLATFORM option space

on -march, MODULE_PROC_FAMILY and some cpufreq drivers which doesn't
sound like an extended platform to me but does it appear to be
deliberate (see 9e111f3e167a "x86: move ELAN to the
NON_STANDARD_PLATFORM section", that was the old name for
EXTENDED_PLATFORM).

Historic... we used to have nonstandard A20M# handling on Elan, until it
was discovered that we could make it work without it.
