hm, on a second look - the whole cpu_model / cpu_modelflag 
business in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu_debug.c looks 
over-complicated and broken. You encode it into a 
'modelflag':

                per_cpu(cpu_model, cpu) = ((cpui->x86_vendor << 16) |
                                           (cpui->x86 << 8) |
                                           (cpui->x86_model));

just to decode it later on:

        flag = per_cpu(cpu_model, cpu);

        switch (flag >> 16) {

That does not make much sense. Please use a proper 
boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor switch() statement, ok?
