-	  Instead of just including optimizations for the selected
-	  x86 variant (e.g. PII, Crusoe or Athlon), include some more
-	  generic optimizations as well. This will make the kernel

+	  Instead of just including optimizations and workarounds for
+	  the selected x86 variant (e.g. PII, Crusoe or Athlon),
+	  include some more generic optimizations and workarounds as
+	  well.  Without this option, the kernel is not guaranteed to
+	  run on anything other than the exact CPU selected.

+	  Disable this if you want to run the kernel on a specific CPU
+	  *only* and want maximum optimizations for that CPU.
