The patch posted turns off athlon optimisation even though > you selected it Well, that's what I thought, too, since that was the only file in the kernel source where CONFIG_MK7 was defined. Somebody pointed out to me, though, that there are other defines that are turned on if you use Athlon settings, like (from arch/i386/config.in): CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW CONFIG_X86_PGE Although, looking at arch/i386/config.in again right now, I see none of these are Athlon specific. That's what I get for trusting somebody else instead of looking into it myself.
