>Description:

Add the following sysctls:

hw.cpuclass  (defines are in <machine/cpuclass.h>)
hw.features.mmx
hw.features.3dnow
hw.features.simd


These are useful in deciding what library to use at runtime, when choosing
between C/x86 or plain x86/mmx/simd functions, without having knowledge of
anything CPU related.


Also, fixed a misplaced comment in identcpu.c
