This may be good for this model and set of sockets but may be a
problem in general. If some future socket includes both model_fxx, AND
includes some other model, is there any problem that may occur if the
subdirs-y for some directories are executed twice?

Remember, you are not only setting up sockets/models for one part of
one cpu family, you are setting up a pattern which others will follow.
Be very careful about that!

If there is no problem, I guess this change is ok. I'm not that
comfortable with it, however.

I think it should be pushed even farther down the tree and then that
wouldn't be a problem either.  Lets say that we had a "generic Pentium+"
config, then we could source that from almost any socket, and nothing would
be included twice.  There should be no boards with two sockets, right?

I was trying, but I've had several missteps.

You can revert it or tell me to.
