[PATCH] - Fix get_model_name() for mixed cpu type systems

[Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com>]

If a system consists of mixed processor types, kmalloc()
can be called before the per-cpu data page is initialized. 
If the slab contains sufficient memory, then kmalloc() works
ok. However, if the slabs are empty, slab calls the memory
allocator. This requires per-cpu data (NODE_DATA()) & the
cpu dies.

You are right! "BUG" is a little harsh. I changed the code to print 
a "table overflow" message & return "Unknown".
