What about adding them to our cpu models?
It should go w/o saying for all models (SandyBridge, OpteronGx,..) but 
there is the issue of backward compat. I remember we had a discussion 
about pair the models w/ the current machine type (-M) but I don't 
remember the final call.

What's your take Eduardo?

Cheers,
Dor
