FWIW I never noticed a difference between CONFIG_MK8 yes and not set for
real-time kernels. This x86_64 vs amd64 thingy does confuse newbies, but
after a while everybody understands why there are those name. i368? What
is it for? I only know 80386, never heard about 80368 ;). There are
enough explanations available regarding to the names. Changing names
only will cause more confusion.
