Bug#736892: CPU family

The file is for family 15h, that h stands for hexadecimal base. 15 in the hexadecimal base is 21 in the decimal base. It is working correctly. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

It is working correctly. Of course. How did I miss that? Doh! OK, you may close this bug report at your leisure. Despite the fact that /proc/cpuid reports only 2 cores instead of 4, it appears that all four CPUs do get their microcode updated. A kernel message something like skipping microcode upgrade for CPU #1: already up to date would be nice, but the lack of such a message is not, strictly speaking, a bug. -- .''`.
