Hello!
When working in cpu autoconfiguration I found some problems:
I have to identify this processor:
Vendor: Intel
Family: 6
Model: 8
Is it a "Pentium III (Coppermine)" (setup.c:1709)
or a "Celeron (Coppermine)" (setup.c:1650) ?
What is the difference between MWINCHIP2 and MWINCHIP3D?
Version 2:
. Added a PIII
. Corrected the name of Crusoe
. Added the generic Intel and AMD 486
. Corrected the braces {,} (wrong syntax)

Hi Linus!
Here a first try to autodetect the processor when configure kernel.
How it works:
1) I add a CONFIG_CPU_CURRENT boolean.
2) If it is set, the next Makefile will call script/cpu_detect.sh
and try to detect the processor (it return CONFIG_M386 if it fails)
3) Makefile sets the autodet
I forgot:
The program is in http://people.debian.org/~cate/autoconfigure/
Notes of implementation:
It is a bash script. I've split in two file:
rules file: contain the pci id, device name, resources names,...
It is in a simple format, so that it can used in other programs.
