There were no 64bit Transmeta CPUs made (and it'd be something of

no CPU vendor cloned the 80860000 cpuid space claimed by Transmeta.
By removing this code, we can also eliminate calling cpuid 0x80000007 twice.

I'd really like to avoid divergences between the 32-bit and 64-bit code if they can be avoided at this point. These codes need to be unified, not further split.
