The 2.4 kernels can be built with athlon optimised prefetch and memory
copying. Pretty much all of the athlon related stuff is in Linus tree now
(actually it may even all be there).

1. Athlon + Athlon optimized kernel => _mmx_mmcpy problems

Hi,

I thought, as I have an Athlon, I should recompile my 2.4.18-ac3 kernel
for Athlon optimzied ... yadda ... but this causes serious problems.

After booting, it has quite a lot of depmod problems, with depmod -e it
shows all are '_mmx_mmcpy' and vmware can't compile, cause of the same
error.

so I had to go back to PIII style ... or I wouldn't have been able to
update vmware ... sad thing
