default i686 non-cross config to reproduce the bug

After a regular `git pull` I found buildroot is not generating device entries in output/target/dev/ anymore. The resulting images are then obviously broken.

The visible effect is that fs/common.mk finds TARGET_DEVICE_TABLE empty,
thus is does not call makedevs.

This seems to be happening since commit:
0585241 Move all filesystem generation code to fs/

Verified with Linux-i686 as a development host, two targets:
 - Linux ARM, custom config,
 - Linux i686, default config (make menuconfig, exit, save; it's attached anyway),
   on git commit 9554403ad0b81f29dd4ee1404de755aa5b72cac5.

Fixed in git by Thomas with the introduction of the BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE kconfig setting.
