Hi all...
After five minutes working on the arches patch, I realized that
if PII gets split away, CONFIG_M686 only stands for PPro, so it
would be worth a rename to CONFIG_MPENTIUMPRO ?
Only drawback is that people (ie - distros) could not just copy their old
.config and build...

Yah, it would. CONFIG_M686 is now too general - unless we want
CONFIG_M686 _and_ a specific arch, like CONFIG_MPII. Then we can check
just the general case (M686) or the specific chip (MPII) as needed.
Also, CONFIG_MPPRO is easier on the eyes :)

They should `make oldconfig' anyhow...
