The LCM seems to change from new machine to new machine, but I agree. In future however, we should just stay ahead of new processors.

And I agree. But we need to think about how to do this best. There are numerous AMD architectures we should probably distinguish. We currently just have amd64, but we should probably have dirs for k8 and k10, perhaps instead of amd64. I don't think we need to distinguish athlon 64 and opteron.
