No, Intel already has an 80786; it's the graphics processor chip that was introduced at the same time as the 80386.
What's the model number of the `pentium 2'; isn't it something like the 80522? (the `pentium pro' is the 80521, and the `pentium' is the 8050x {I think the 60/66 are 80501, while the cleaned up later generation is 80502}
Of course many brains would pop if the config scripts were reworked to define CONFIG_M50x and CONFIG_M52x...
