I thought Core is a revival of the PIII core. At any rate, "generic" is
an -mtune option only, so alone it will not use cmovs anyway because
they're not supported earlier that i686.

I just tried it, gcc compiling for i386 uses cmov for a signed divide by
128 with march = i686, pentiumpro, pentium2, pentium3, pentium4, core2
and k8. Compiling for x86_64, it uses cmov on march = generic, k8 and
core2.
