fallback (generic, i686, ...)?
Without benchmarks, we're flying blind on that one... although in
general, "generic" is probably best in the sense that it doesn't imply
that anything else has been done to it.
As far as MODULE_PROC_FAMILY it really comes down to if we use movbe or
not, which I don't believe your patch does. On the other hand, I really
think it's extremely unlikely that anyone will use modules compiled for
a different CPU, so I'm personally fine with changing that string.
That whole mechanism is kind of broken, anyway.
