I've added support for EPIA C3-2 CPUs to the build system.

There are only two files modified:

- configuration/prepare.config
added a KERNEL tag to the menuconfig options, so now one could choose the cpu type for the linux kernel.

This is completely independant from the CONFIG_CPU switch. So now we have:

CONFIG_CPU : the command passed to gcc as -march=type
CONFIG_KERNEL_CPU : the string appended to the linux .config file.

- scripts/prepare
one line modified, so $CONFIG_KERNEL_CPU is written to the .config file.

So, as pointed on the kernel mailing list (see the link on prepare.config), for an epia c3-2 motherboard you have to choose CPU=686 and KERNEL=VIAC3-2.

Adding support for athlons (etc) should be very easy...

is everyone happy with this change? it works and it's simple :)
