Pentium bug Q



I have recently switched from SuSE Linux to Debian and installed 2.0.34.
When booting I noticed the following message:
Intel Pentium with F0 0F bug
Workaround enabled.
Does somebody know what bug this is and what workaround is implemented.
I have a rather old machine with an Intel Pentium 100 MHz, but I never
saw such a message before.
Thanks,
