Thanks, I'll fix it up.

Right now, all the constants are 16 bits long, that's 19:4. If a future
CPU model needs more bits, they'll make all the constants bigger and can
change the comment.

I think I just verbatim copied the intel-family.h names and added PECI_.
Are you seeing something different.

BTW, we should probably comment the naming scheme and at least mention
that it should be consistent with the x86 code.
