This patch should fix the Pentium IV and other CPU detection
glitches which remain in test10-pre4.
The necessary fixes are:
* arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:
- (Pentium IV) don't goto name_decoded, return instead; otherwise
x86_model_id which was grabbed from the extended cpuid levels
will be overwritten by the final sprintf
- print cpu family as integer not char in /proc/cpuinfo (since
Pentium IV's family code 15 won't fit in a char)
* include/asm-i386/elf.h:
- make Pentium IV and other post-P6 processors use the "i686"
family name (same fix as the system_utsname.machine init fix
which went into include/asm-i386/bugs.h in test10-pre4)
The following two fixes are desirable but not strictly necessary:
* arch/i386/kernel/microcode.c:
- accept _only_ Intel P6, not P6-or-later
* include/asm-i386/bugs.h:
- the check for K6 B-step chips is missing a family==5 test
