Oops..  I misread your patch.  It does "-mcpu=ev56" and not 
"-march=ev56", so it would still run on any alpha.  My bad.

As a total guess, most businesses probably have EV56 or higher in
usage, however I'd also guess most hobbiests have EV5 machines,
so choosing a default instruction scheduling that is
representative of the majority out there would be tricky.

I'm using EV67 here, so either will work for me.  ;o)

It might be best to stick with the lowest common denominator 
perhaps.
