386/486

[Jeroen Ruigrok/asmodai <asmodai@xxxxxx>]

Matt (or others who can answer of course :)),

I remember talks when 5.x was being made about how the 386 and 486
(IIRC) didn't have certain essential assembly commands for ease of
atomic locking.

How will this affect your ideas?  Will we only go with Pentium and above
(and likewise CPUs on other platforms) or will it allow to use 386/486
as well?
