In 2.6, it's largely unnecessary. prefetch instructions get
patched at boottime/module-load time depending on whether its
running on Intel/AMD. The only thing an Athlon build buys you
is an optimised memcpy/memset routines. runtime switching of those
routine is on my (and several other peoples) todo list.
