    Please don't include this.

    I'd prefer to switch i386 cpu selection to a different scheme which
    gives you effectively these options for free without additional options.

    @Andrew:
    You rejected my i386 cpu selection patch for 2.6 some time ago, and
    asked me to resend it for 2.7 .
    With the new 2.6 development model, will you now accept this patch
    in 2.6?
