Including some tuning for non selected x86 CPUs too.
when it has moderate overhead. This is intended for generic
distributions kernels.
Instead of just including optimizations for the selected
x86 variant (e.g. PII, Crusoe or Athlon), include some more
generic optimizations as well. This will make the kernel
perform better on x86 CPUs other than that selected.
This is really intended for distributors who need more
generic optimizations.
