[PATCH 0/4] Adjusting x86 Target Goals

[Elliott Mitchell]

"Pentium4" was never generic for x86.  Certainly Intel made plenty of
P4s, and they kept their extras with the ia32-only Core processors.  Yet
this excludes all AMD processors, all Cyrix processors, and all Transmeta
processors.

Further while those extras do add value, the value is limited.  Meanwhile
"Pentium Pro"/"i686" add one item of great value, SMP support.  I've seen
several OSes/distributions target i686, but OpenWRT is the very first
I've seen which selected P4.

At this point calling a non-amd64 x86 build "generic" is a misnomer.
Certainly amd64 may not have flooded out earlier processors in the
embedded space, but it is only a matter of time.


Notes:  This has been confirmed to build, but this hasn't been well
checked and there could be bugs.  For OpenWRT one can argue "generic"
shouldn't point at amd64.  At a minimum though a x86 "generic" should
NOT point at non-amd64.


Elliott Mitchell (4):
  packages/x86: detect architecture, not x86/64 target
  kernel/x86: revert "generic" to i686 ("Pentium Pro")
  kernel/x86: rename "generic" to i686
  kernel/x86: move "64" to "generic"
