It depends what you are trying to discover about the processor. I believe there are at least three different silicon revisions of 7455 processors defined in the cpu features table. One purpose of cpu features is to provide a standard set of information so you don't have to test PVR all of the time, but rather just check if the cpu has the feature of interest. have fun :-) -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
