Linus said earlier he wanted the Cyrix stuff moved into asm/bugs.h so
as much as possible its in C. Thats ok since its before we run the

take it.

The IDT chips can be set to
o MMX on/off
o Any CPUID string you like
o If they should emulate the 5/2 behaviour
o If they support CPUID
o If they support CMPXCHG8
So it can emulate most processors just fine 8)
