Therefore this patch is not needed. > Thanks, finally. :) I thought Mike Smith had something to this affect (only after I filed the PR). I'm curious though, and I'll have to research the original thread, because this patch was inspired by a complaint on -hackers (or was it -current) that his Athlon wasn't being identified as such. My next question is whether this is specific to Athlons or can identcpu.c be further reduced?
