Please don't include this.

I'd prefer to switch i386 cpu selection to a different scheme which 
gives you effectively these options for free without additional options.

@Andrew:
You rejected my i386 cpu selection patch for 2.6 some time ago, and 
asked me to resend it for 2.7 .
With the new 2.6 development model, will you now accept this patch
in 2.6?
