Athlon problem report summary

There appear to be two common threads to this

1. 'It runs if I don't use Athlon optimisations'

This one is compiler independant. It seems to be unrelated to obvious
candidates like vesafb. It isnt related to CPU version. Every victim has a
VIA chipset machine.

2. 'My athlon box is fine until I am swapping' {and using DMA}

Compiler independant, CPU version independant. All victims have a VIA chipset.
This one may be linked to the reported problems with VIA PCI. Two of the
reporters found disabling IDE DMA fixed this one

Nobody using an AMD chipset has reported either problem.
