I had it in my tree in the past, it worked all right, and provided
some more usefull information about cpu than current system:

current:
CPUDETECT: CPU: Advanced Micro Devices  (Family: 15, Stepping: 0)

and new:
CPUDETECT: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ (Family: F, Model:
C, Stepping: 0)

Thoughts? Comments? This is not likely to break anything, and indeed
future-proofs our future release.
