Bug#1033065: release-notes: i386 notes should specify minimum CPU requirements

The release notes for i386 should specify the minimum CPU requirements.
While a kernel compiled for Geode LX (essentially a basic i686 without the optional CPU features) still ships in Debian, many packages enforce CPU flags that barf on anything older than 686-PAE.
One such package is 'sudo' (Bug #1004894) where upstream unilaterally enabled -fcf-protection and the Debian maintainer refuses to comment out the corresponding ./configure macros.
Additionally, other packages apparently disregard build-essentials' GCC defaults and instead configure flags to match the CPU features of the build host, which produces binaries that segfault on a Geode.
