To be more complete we could have:

kernel-image-<version>-<subarch>-<cpu>-<scsi|ide>-<compact|modular>-<debugging?>-<filesystems>-....

</sarcasm>

I've said before that over 2000 kernel configuration options exist and
it's obviously not feasable to make a standard binary kernels with
every concievable combination. Of these options, CPU optionizations
are probably the least important.
