But we still need a fix, I guess the one I sent you does the job, yes,
no?

If not, I'd need more background info though - you're loading this on an
unsupported family, right?

If so, we need to fix the family check at the beginning:

	if (c->x86 < 0xf || c->x86 > 0x16)

maybe even look at c->x86_model if we have to.

Thanks.
