-(2) The Indigo2 Impact is a special case in that it requires special patch to
-be applied to <c>gcc</c> before it will build an IP28 kernel correctly. This
-patch adds support for the <c>-mip28-cache-barriers</c> CFLAG, which is used
-when building kernels to work around the inherent hardware bug brought on by
-speculative execution. This USE flag can be set in <path>/etc/make.conf</path>.
-This is done for you by setting your profile to
-<path>default-linux/mips/mips64/ip28/RELEASE</path>, which also takes care of
-(1).
