It's already used for the Xen guest kernel, just not GCC. The gcc
manpage says that all -march=pentium4 means is enable MMX, SSE, and
SSE2, which I believe the old Atoms support, but even if they don't,
running any VM on such low-spec processors isn't likely to work anyway.
Using -march=i686 is an alias for Pentium Pro, that is, before the
Pentium II.
