i486 base architecture

[Nicholas Miell]

[ Stuff about what's going to 'Provide: cpu(cmov)' omitted. ]

Ok, now that that's settled, how are packages going to get the
"Requires: cpu(cmov)" dependency?

And why can't we just say that i686 packages all require a i686 variant
that provides CMOVcc?

Sure, there are i686 variants that don't, but what's stopping them from
using the generic i386 version (which is optimized for i686, anyway)?
