hi there,
i always forget how to decipher model and family from the cpu id.
of course
there're 3rd party tools to do that for you, but instead i decided
to hack the
kernel. ;)
maybe somebody finds these changes useful.
cheers.

What about the other arch's ? I only see i386 and amd64. I would
think if this functionality is going to "make it in" that it should
be done consistantly across the board, the way it is now.
just had a look at the other archs and in fact implementing these changes is
not that easy as on i386 and amd64.
talking about consistency: i found the cpu info outputs on arm, i64, etc. to
differ from the ones on i386 and amd64. so in fact there is inconsistency
present atm.
In that case. EEEK. Alright if they are already differing then I certainly
see no reason why not to do this.
i also think that on some archs it's not possible to output cpu id, stepping,
family and model simply because there's no cpu instruction (CPUID or something
similar) returning those info for freebsd to use.
Man what_was_I_smokin(1) "joking"; when I wrote that last email while
thinking about three things at once. Of course they are going to be
different lol. You are quite correct. Sorry.
cheers.
