Hello.

With all the talks regarding /proc/cpuinfo recently, it appears that many
things have been fixed for the high-end machines, but my 486 is no longer
recognized properly. I'm not certain when this has broken, and I'm willing
to try and find out if that's important.

Here's my /proc/cpuinfo for 2.2.0-pre6-ac1:

processor : 0
vendor_id : unknown
cpu family : 4
model : 0
model name : unknown
stepping : unknown
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : -1
wp : yes
flags :
bogomips : 33.08

In 2.0.36, it looks quite a bit better, though incorrect (the machine is
a DX2/66):

processor : 0
cpu : 486
model : 486 DX-25/33
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
stepping : unknown
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid : no
wp : yes
flags :
bogomips : 33.08

If any more information is needed - ask.
