They just changed from package masking to keyword masking, as noted in
the ChangeLog

 "Drop keywords from portage-2.2*, as a substitute for masking via
  package.mask."

Remove the entry from /etc/portage/package.unmask and add it
to /etc/portage/package.keywords. This applies equally to ~x86 and ~amd64.
