I've gotta Pentium IV 800MHz working on 2.4.0-test10

I'll send Linus

Hello,
I think I have summarized the discussion for clarity:
1. rep nop can used with all x86 boxes, unless a valid example can be found where it
doesn't work. Athlon works with the rep nop.
2. There's a bug in get_model_name(),
cpuid(0x8001, &dummy, &dummy, &dummy, &(c->x86_capabilit
