Sorry, I rounded the effect down. You get to remove the
following from the kernel if you drop the 386:
{ 3, -1, 32, "386", }, /* family defaults */
and
if(X86FAMILY(m->cpuidax) == 3)
conf.copymode = 1;
and to simplify this:
if(read && conf.copymode == 0 && s->ref == 1) {
but you get to add code to check and whine if you try to
run the kernel on a 386.
