No need to see P4 or Athlon options if you don't have one...

Broken. Vendor kernels compile for 386, but include both these
options, so the same kernel can run on P4/Athlon and use
these options.

But now I can't build a "generic" kernel which supports both these
features.

This makes little sense. The P4 and K7 MCE handling can be built into
any kernel tree and will correctly work. That means you can build things
into a generic kernel not just a per processor kernel, which for any
number of systems becomes unmanagable
