On the Intel side of x86/ land, we used to have these open-coded
model/family numbers scattered about. But, a few years ago, we started
populating arch/x86/include/asm/intel-family.h and using those instead.
I think it's been pretty successful. It's a lot easier to grep for
INTEL_FAM6_NEHALEM_EX than for 0x2E.

Is there a chance we could start doing the same for other CPU vendors?
Perhaps start with:

#define ZHAOXIN_FAMILY_YONGFENG 0x5B

Great suggestion. After discussing with my colleagues, we decide to add these open-coded model/family numbers into a new file like zhaoxin-family.h, create a new patch set and re-commit.
