While this would obviously be non-optimal in all cases, it would be compatible with everything and probably faster on non-386 than a 386-optimized kernel. Of course, the gains are probably not worth the time it would take to write one, as I would hope that most linux users are willing to compile their own kernels... -- This message has been brought to you by the letter alpha and the number pi.
