psrinfo -vp currently outputs processor IDs in 'digested' form:
The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (0)
x86 (AuthenticAMD family 15 model 37 step 1 clock 2210 MHz)
AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 848
I'd like to change that to add the raw "EAX, page 1" value, since that
value appears in all the errata from Intel and AMD, and is the number that
is the quick, unambiguous, fully-specified way to identify a particular
processor:
The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (0)
x86 (AuthenticAMD 20F51 family 15 model 37 step 1 clock 2210 MHz)
AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 848
(note the 20F51).
Does anyone think that either 1) this is a bad idea, or 2) that ARC is
interested in this output format change, or 3) that anyone else has an
opinion as to details? I'm not married to the position or format, but I do
think that uppercase-hex, no leading 0s is the right form, as that's how it
appears in the errata.
