The -686 kernels should now be listed as unusable for the test.

I'm also very surprised that k7 kernels should suddenly have become usable 
for this system as CenterHauls is not an AMD system. Seems like a bug!

Note that the kernel tests are not there just to make the tests succeed, 
but are there to check for mistakes in the code. That also means that if 
changes are needed in tests after the code has been changed, it should 
always be checked if they make sense. In this case these changes clearly 
do not make sense, so the code must be wrong.

Cheers,
FJP
