I have a Cyrix 6x86MX PR200+, though I have to clock it down to about
180 MHz in order for the system to remain stable (still working on that
one).
The CPU was detected properly on 2.0.33 with a patch (the one with all
the nifty VSPM and IDLE_HLT stuff in it). Unfortunately I don't have a
copy of my /proc/cpuinfo from that time.

That is the case here; I'm building with CONFIG_M686=y.

fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : -1
wp : yes
flags :
bogomips : 149.50

I'll try to boot my 2.0 kernel and post the information that it gives me
