Cover letter [0/4] [2.6 patch] better i386 CPU selection
Changes since the last set of patches:
- CONFIG_X86_INTEL_USERCOPY is used if at least one configured CPU supports it
- rediffed against 2.6.0-test5-mm4
[1/4]
- changed the i386 CPU selection from a choice to single options for every cpu
- renamed the M* variables to CPU_*, this is needed to ask the users upgrading from older kernels instead of silently changing the semantics
- X86_GOOD_APIC -> X86_BAD_APIC
- AMD Elan is a different subarch, you can't configure a kernel that runs on both the AMD Elan and other i386 CPUs
- added optimizing CFLAGS for the AMD Elan
- gcc 2.95 supports -march=k6 (no need for check_gcc)
- help text changes/updates
[2/4]
move "struct movsl_mask movsl_mask" to usercopy.c (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_USERCOPY is used on non-Intel CPUs)
[3/4]
- made arch/i386/kernel/cpu/Makefile CPU specific
[4/4]
- made arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/Makefile CPU specific
Dependencies between these patches:
- patch 3 requires 1+2
- patch 4 requires 1
The main part is patch 1.
Patch 2 fixes a small issue that only shows up with patch 3.
Patches 3+4 add some space optimizations by omitting unneeded code. They are _not_ required, the main part is patch 1.
TODO:
- change include/asm-i386/module.h to use some kind of bitmask
