I dunno.. Event he help-text doesn't actually agree with that:

The help text matches in how I wrote this option originally.
The original use case was the 128 byte P4 cache lines.


The help text is indeed out of date. I did a patch yesterday to, among other things, update it; I also want to verify that we are disabling all options that can cause gcc or binutils to generate nopl's; I plan to push it today.
