So I'm not totally convinced about this as it increases the #ifdef count - 
that's why I didn't pick up the earlier submission.

But I guess we could do it if you do one more cleanup: please rename it 
all to ->legacy_model_names, ->legacy_cache_size, etc., to make sure it's 
apparent at first sight that this is an old, secondary identification 
mechanism for pre-sane-CPUID CPUs.

Also maybe describe the fields in a comment line as well.

Thanks,

	Ingo
