Re: [PATCH] 2.5.69 Changes to Kconfig and i386 Makefile to include support for various K7 optimizations

[Thomas Horsten <thomas@horsten.com>]

Also the patch got wordwrapped since I had to resend it from my shell account (it got eaten by the linux-kernel filter the first time for some obscure reason)..

So here it is again, also with the typo fixed that Ken pointed out. Comments received with thanks.
