X86_GENERIC — Generic x86 support
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 the one selected.
This is really intended for distributors who need more generic optimizations.
