[PATCH] Add Xeon 7500 series support to oprofile

Add Xeon 7500 series support to oprofile

Straight forward: it's the same as Core i7, so just detect
the model number. No user space changes needed.

Very simple patch, so it could be still merged for .33?

I'll bite - why a hex constant rather than the decimal values nearby?

Also, should we do something about *cpu_type so it isn't confusing on a 7500
reporting itself as a i7?

Why not?

No, that wouldn't be compatible to oprofile userland.

How about: this instead?

Patch applied to oprofile/urgent. I will try to merge it for .33.

I would like to see a follow on patch that changes all x86_model
values to hex that have the extended model bit set. This would make
the code more readable since the spec is also using bit values for
this.

Thanks.

Hex values fit better here since the spec is using bit values
too. Instead, the code should be changed to only use hex values for
models with extended model bits set.

Ok, makes sense.  I'll send it later.
