Some minor tweaks:

Browse source 
- Refer to 386 CPUs as 80386 instead of i386 since i386 is commonly used
  as the architecture name rather than a specific processor.
- Clarify that 5.x also supports 80386's, just not in GENERIC.
- Note that SMP only works on Pentium-class CPUs and higher (we don't
  support systems with multiple 486's and external APICs).  Also, tweak
  the wording to avoid saying 'supported' twice in a row.
