There is no need to change the MACHINE define.  The 8086 and 386
versions of Minix are seen as the same machine with only a different
word size.

The IBM_386_VM symbol somehow sneaked into config.h.  Maybe when Philip
gave Andy networking patches for Minix 1.6.16.  I will remove it.

You probably only want to change the ENABLE_XXX defines, DMA_SECTORS,
and the appropriate NR_BUFS & NR_BUF_HASH.
