via_caches.patch

gcc not detect caches for VIA CPUs. But this task is too simple: according to
Linux kernel code, "detect_caches_amd" function code is not so vendor-specific,
and used in kernel also for any x86_64, VIA/Centaur, Transmeta and Cyrix
family-5/model-5. By some reasons (actual & tech) I suggest only code for
VIA/Centaur CPUs (works fine for C7). This patch sure applicable to 4.5 & trunk
branches and must for any.
