Sys-unconfig isn't going to help as it doesn't address 32/64 bit kernel selection.

e.g.

NAME
viapm -- VIA chipsets Power Management controller driver
SYNOPSIS
device iicbb
device iicbus
device iicsmb
device smbus
device smb
device viapm
DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to the VIA chipset Power Management Unit family. They are VT82C586B, VT82C596A, VT82C596B, VT82C686A and VT8233.
The embedded controller of the VIA chipset may give you access to the monitoring facilities of your mainboard.
The 586B support is made by software whereas other controllers support the SMBus protocol by hardware. See smb(4) for writing user code to
fetch voltages, temperature and so on from the monitoring chip of your mainboard.
