>Description:
According to "Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 2A: Instruction Set Reference, A-M" (http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/manuals/253666.pdf) the PDCM bit name in extended CPU features displaying code in -CURRENT is missing. Attached patch fixes it. This bit is set, for example, in my Core 2 Duo T5600.

Also, RELENG_6 lacks names for SMX, SSSE3, xTPR, PDCM bits. I think they can be MFC'd safely and easily.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot on the CPU that has highlighted bits set.
>Fix:
Apply the attached patch to -CURRENT (can also be downloaded here: http://www.pankov.pp.ru/patches/identcpu-PDCM.diff).
