interesting nit

Just a generic 'heads-up', since this is an unsupported optimisation, and a question; compiling a kernel with '-march=pentium2' mostly works with the only observed problem being that something is amiss with the kernel PLL for NTP. The clock drifts beyond the bounds that NTPD will correct :-(
