[PATCH] x86-64: Add option to compile for Core2

Browse Source 
Add an option to compile for Intel's Core 2

The Kconfig help is a mouthful due to the inventiveness of Intel's
product naming department.

Mainly for the 64bit cache line sizes because gcc doesn't support
optimizing for core2 yet. However it will and then the kernel
should be ready by passing the right option

Also fix the old MPSC help text to confirm better to reality.

Note the the latest Xeons (Xeon 51xx and 53xx) are not based on the
Netburst core and shouldn't use this option. You can distingush them
using the cpu family field
in /proc/cpuinfo. Family 15 is a older Xeon, Family 6 a newer one
(this rule only applies to system that support EM64T)

Optimize for Intel Core2 and newer Xeons (51xx)
You can distingush the newer Xeons from the older ones using
the cpu family field in /proc/cpuinfo. 15 is a older Xeon
(use CONFIG_MPSC then), 6 is a newer one. This rule only
applies to CPUs that support EM64T.
