Nah, I actually have the silicon! :-)
Joking, of course. I wish. I'm booting the guest with -cpu phenom (it
has been like that since forever in my boot-kernel-in-kvm script) but
the host is Intel.
If I do this on an AMD host, all is ok:
(gdb) p $lx_per_cpu("cpu_info").x86_vendor_id
$1 = "AuthenticAMD\000\000\000"
(gdb) p $lx_per_cpu("cpu_info").x86_model_id
$2 = "AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor", '\000' <repeats 24 times>
(gdb)

Maybe worth documenting it then at the end of gdb-kernel-debugging.txt?
