Only with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC. That's precisely why CONFIG_X86_GENERIC
was created.

If I disabled CONFIG_X86_GENERIC and select CONFIG_MPENTIUM4, I darned
well better not get any Athlon code. The cpu setup code in particular I
want to conditionalize, and there are other bits that need work... but
for the most part it works as intended.
