  Thanks, finally. :) I thought Mike Smith had something to this affect (only
after I filed the PR). I'm curious though, and I'll have to research the
original thread, because this patch was inspired by a complaint on -hackers
(or was it -current) that his Athlon wasn't being identified as such.
  My next question is whether this is specific to Athlons or can identcpu.c be
further reduced?

  Thanks again,

  Kelly
