Yep. I wouldn't expect too many changes within i386.md -- there are
already quite a few tuning knobs that can be turned, and they are all
set in i386.c. But of course, if you need new ones, do follow the same
style -- no references to particular processors, but instead add a
variable whose name describes the effect and the whose definition
describes the processors to which it applies.
