 Hmm, I should have checked this when I introduced the code to identify
 PII processors, so color me guilty. But as Poul-Henning remarked,
 these tests should check the CPU class and not the CPU model, so your
 fix is inadequate (or perhaps I should rather say that it is only a
 short-term fix - until the next 686-class CPU hits the market)
 
 I'll try to set aside some time to look into this. Thank you very much
 for pointing it out to us.
