read identcpu.c. you are correct for k6 and lesser processors. the code in
question is around line 323:
do_cpuid(0x80000000, regs);
nreg = regs[0];
if (nreg >= 0x80000004) {
do_cpuid(0x80000002, regs);
memcpy(cpu_model, regs, sizeof regs);
do_cpuid(0x80000003, regs);
memcpy(cpu_model+16, regs, sizeof regs);
do_cpuid(0x80000004, regs);
memcpy(cpu_model+32, regs, sizeof regs);
}
