There is a decent set of embedded 486-compatible systems that don't
fully implement the Pentium feature set. From a kernel perspective, 386
is broken due to a lot of stupid hardware bugs, but there are not that
many compelling reasons for killing 486 support. 64bit cmpxchg is just
not that popular on a 32bit platform.
