If Hygon processors are currently the same as AMD, I don't see the point
in creating a new file just for them.  Likewise for example in patch 6


+	case X86_VENDOR_HYGON:
+		ideal_nops = p6_nops;

 	case X86_VENDOR_AMD:
 		if (boot_cpu_data.x86 > 0xf) {
 			ideal_nops = p6_nops;

Should only need to add "case X86_VENDOR_HYGON:".  Or you could even
reuse X86_VENDOR_AMD.
