Am I right in thinking that CONFIG_MCORE2 is the correct choice for an Intel Atom? (It seems to work for me, so far.) If this is true, since there are quite a lot of these chips in circulation now and the choice is not obvious, I think it would be helpful to add something along the following lines to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu.
