Support for GEODE CPU's in Kernel 2.6.10.

[Kianusch Sayah Karadji]

Hi!

This is a small patch for GEODE CPU support in Kernel 2.6.10.

Those CPU's are found mostly in embedded systems ... one of the most 
prominent Hardware using GEODE CPU is probably soekris net4801 
(http://www.soekris.com).

This patch has been on my homepage 
(http://www.sk-tech.net/support/soekris.html) for quite a time - but I've 
been asked several time to have it included in the main kernel.

Regards
