NUMAQ is not supported by the generic subarchitecture anyways.
The only supported architecturs by generic are pc, bigsmp, summit. In theory you could subselect them, but it's only a few bytes for each so it's probably not worth the effort. Technically it isn't a big issue, you would just need to add it to Kconfig (not sure how to do that cleanly), the Makefile and the probe table.
