[PATCH] x86: enable CPUID on Cyrix cpus with CPUID disabled

From: Krzysztof Helt
Date: Mon Sep 29 2008 - 13:23:12 EST


From: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@xxxxx>

The macros setCx86_old() and getCx86_old() do not
work as a comment says in the processor-cyrix.h.

Use working inline functions instead to enable
the CPUID instriction on Cyrix cpus.

Tested on IBM 6x86MX cpu with disabled the
CPUID instruction.

This patch is against the linux-next tree (20080819)
as it contains the following patch:

x86, cyrix: debug
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

The linux-2.6-tip tree has not the Ingo's patch so it
does not require my patch.

I am confused. Is the x86 detection code for Cyrix
cpus is right in the linux-next or in the linux-2.6-tip?
Should I prepare patches against the linux-2.6-tip
or linux-next?
