lucho has a good point.  while i still think concentrating on amd64
for new things is the right thing to do for the future, that shouldn't
mean neglecting necessary maintence on the 386 kernels.

9atom now has sse support in the pae kernel.  pae support goes back
to the pentium pro, so i hope this isn't too restrictive.  pae support is
probablly a bigger restriction.  anyway, the acid /sys/lib/acid/386 file
should automaticly use the correct registers.  it uses /dev/archctl to
determine the fp type the kernel uses. ("fp: sse" in /dev/archctl for
the sse kernels.)
