Hmm.. the SSE2 default below is no longer honoured, but I think we can just remove it. My aopen/dxplplusu is the only that could break. And the comment may actually originate from romcc romstage times from around 2011.
if CPU_INTEL_SOCKET_MPGA604 select CPU_INTEL_MODEL_F2X ,,, select SSE
# mPGA604 are usually Intel Netburst CPUs which should have SSE2 # but the ramtest.c code on the Dell S1850 seems to choke on # enabling it, so disable it for now. config SSE2 bool default n
Let's keep it then. The pre-SSE2 mfence should also work.
