Sorry, this sneaked through. I was supposed to modify the comment before
sending it out. For this RFC, I was looking for suggestions since there
didn't seem a straight forward way to convert sig to VFM.

But as Dave mentioned in the other thread, maybe we don't need to redo
CPUID in the first place and this code can reuse cpu_data(). I'll
explore that path first.
