Does the following look ok?

%%%
diff -r eae64e5226db sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
--- a/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC	Mon Dec 10 12:03:23 2007 +0000
+++ b/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC	Tue Dec 11 02:41:27 2007 +0200
_at__at_ -32,7 +32,7 _at__at_ options 	PREEMPTION		# Enable kernel thr

%%%

It's simple enough, and we already have a few lines which are a bit
`longish' in GENERIC.
