libcrypto: get rid of I386_ONLY

2016-11-04 Thread Miod Vallat
I386_ONLY was used to prefer a different assembler sequence in the sha512 code, which would be faster on 80386 processors, but slower on 80486 and above. This code path has never been enabled, and there are actually no plans to make libcrypto friendlier to genuine 80386 chips, so why bother
