This really should be conditionalized on `if (bootverbose)'.  Most
users are not equipped to interpret the `features' and don't care
anyway.  While we're at it, I'd like to see this cleaned up...
Currently, my machine tells me:

CPU: Pentium (Pentium-class CPU) 60 MHz  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x515
  This is a Pentium 510\\60 or 567\\66  Stepping=5  Features=0x1bf [...]

What it should say is:

CPU: Pentium 510\\60 (Pentium-class CPU) 60 MHz Stepping=5

...and `sysctl hw.model' should return `Pentium 510/60'.
