The only pentium specific optimizations that are enabled by MPENTIUM4
is to tell the compiler to compile for pentium4 and a few settings
in arch/i386/Kconfig.

You could enable/disable these individually and see if you can track
it down with a binary search.

Most of this stuff should be fairly harmless though and be only
microoptimizations; I cannot see how they should cause user visible
races.
