Update to my AMD detection patch...

This didn't appear to go through the last time, so I'm sending it out
again. I apologise for any duplications, but neither I nor the archive at
erau.edu have received this one...

AMD's added a new model number and updated their K6 stuff a little, so
here's the new patch, this is against the 2.1.54 kernel.

Also, someone may want to take a look at this web page:

http://www.sandpile.org/80x86/cpuid.shtml

It's got some stuff under the AMD section that I'm going hack together an
implementation for. Basically, it appears that the x86 capabilities flags
are not completely accurate with the K[56]. There appear to be some
differences (and between the new K6 models too...). I'll have something
soonish, though I've GOT to finish a patch for tin first...
