So since especially AMD likes to iterate the family upwards, why not 
make this a simple open ended check:

        if (boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_INTEL &&
            boot_cpu_data.x86 >= 6 ||
            boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_AMD &&
            boot_cpu_data.x86 >= 15) {

                ... 0 delay ...
        }

... which is much smaller and more future proof?

Thanks,
