Is there a reason for this?, or just an oversight. Are the chip id string
returned by AMD so lame that a table lookup is better? ;-) JK
OK by popular demand, the following patch vs. 2.1.125, at:
http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~rreilova/linux/cpu-det-2.1.125.gz
attempts to fix this (UNTESTED). I don't have an AMD.
It also avoids repeating the cpuid(2,...) call many times from inside the
table lookup loop on Intel Pentiums. This is in addition to all the other
Cyrix changes (which are already in 2.1.125ac1, ie. don't apply to ac1).
Cheers,
Rafael
