Or how about bitmapped kernel parameter(s) for setting special CPU features?
(like amd=, cyrix=, intel= or just cpu=)
That would allow one kernel and simple lilo config for example 'safe' and
'fast' settings. And allow changing at lilo prompt!
...or just something like 'cpu=wb,fastio'?

Not bad either, but using those would usually take place at init scripts. Good
place to get things messed up at startup and make more difficult to fix.
