[PATCH] optimizing X now that we don't support i386 CPU's on 6-CURRENT

[Xin LI]

Hi, David

I really like to see this happen, as it means we are going to support
modern hardware better, without completely set a barrier for supporting
older hardware.

By committing this, would you please add something into src/UPDATING
like:

200410XX:
	Certain part in libc's i386 assembly source code has been changed
	in favor of using instructions available only on newer processors
	for performance considerations.  In order to get libc run on
	80386 processors, you will have to define I386_CPU.
