Subject: x86, nops: Missing break resulting in incorrect selection on Intel
From: Alan Cox <[email protected]>
commit d6250a3f12edb3a86db9598ffeca3de8b4a219e9 upstream.
The Intel case falls through into the generic case which then changes
the values. For cases like the P6 it doesn't do the right thing so
this seems to be a screwup.
