Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add an option for the VIA C7 which sets appropriate L1
cache
The VIA C7 is a 686 (with TSC) that supports MMX, SSE and SSE2, it also has a cache line length of 64 according to http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/cpu/rmma-via-c7.html. This patch sets gcc to -march=686 and selects the correct cache shift.
This version adds it to include/asm-i386/module.h too so it will actually compile.
