Re-targeting to Alpha 3

Even though we're still waiting for the spec to be written to know the exact details behind any requested changes, I'm writing down the following initial information:
1) We've already removed the 386 kernel flavour in Maverick. This was done based on hallway discussions at UDS-Maverick.
2) :~/ubuntu-
i386/config.
Currently in Maverick, for i386 we enable the CONFIG_M586 kernel config option which is described as follows:
config M586
bool "586/K5/
depends on X86_32

As of linux-2.6.35-10.15, we've enabled CONFIG_M686 in the kernel.
