A bug in the NFS client that caused bogus access times with
O_EXCL|O_CREAT opens was fixed. [MERGED]
Support for the 80386 processor has been removed from the GENERIC
kernel, as this code seriously pessimizes performance on other ia32
processors.
The I386_CPU kernel option to support the 80386 processor is now mutually
exclusive with support for other ia32 processors; this should slightly
improve performance on the 80386 due to the elimination of runtime
processor type checks.
Custom kernels that will run on the 80386 can still be built by changing
the cpu options in the kernel configuration file to only include I386_CPU.
