Hi,
I can confirm that your patch works for i386 on net4501:
# sysctl hw
hw.machine=i386
hw.model=Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi ("Geode by NSC"
586-class)
hw.ncpu=1
hw.byteorder=1234
hw.pagesize=4096
...
hw.cpuspeed=267
hw.vendor=Soekris Engineering
hw.product=net4801
hw.version=1
hw.physmem=133754880
hw.usermem=133742592
hw.ncpufound=1
hw.allowpowerdown=1
