I only updated the patches Attilio provided several months ago for
9-STABLE, and his patch-set only added the option for amd64. I see no
reason that it should not be in i386, as well, but had not noticed since I
run amd64 these days. You can certainly try adding the option to GENERIC on
an i386 system and see what happens. I suspect it will work fine. If so
(and unless I hear a reason not to from Attilio) I'll update the patch-set
to do it.
