pacman upgrade brings pentium4 automatically for via processors

Until pacman < 6.0.0,

Architecture = auto

in /etc/pacman.conf did properly switch from i686 to pentium4 only on amd and intel CPUs. With pacman 6.0.0, this now also works on via (and probably also all other) CPUs. If you are running archlinux32 on any such CPU, please follow the i686 -> pentium4 transition instructions outlined here after upgrading pacman.
