From 25ef829b0347f323f8099a1fd92a364ccf313cfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Pedro F. Giffuni" Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 03:52:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Revert r314669, r314670: Bring back the i486 option in GENERIC by default. The code related to i386 CPU variants configuration has received many changes in the last years: most of the features are detected automatically, so there are no performance penalties from keeping the 486 support enabled. Re-instate the 486 support: while the general configuration could still be cleaned a bit, there is no advantage in removing it.
