WHile executing ./configure without args, i can see it doesn't detect my cyrix as
an mtrr cpu.

This is because it checks for  a "mttr" or "k6_mttr" value in /proc/cpuinfo

But Cyrix exist!! ;). According to Documentation/mtrr.txt from the linux kernel:

MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) control
.....
  The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
  Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
  these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
.....


In my /proc/cpuinfo you can see a cyrix_arr. This is because it recognices
doesnt recognices the mtrr support.

Is this intended? If not, please just add a "|cyrix_arr" in the line 528 of configure,
just after "k6_mttr" ;)
