Rafael,

Your latest Cyrix patch seems to operate correctly on my P150+, but the
/proc/cpuinfo file is a bit odd:

processor : 0
cpu family : 5
model : xIns 2x Core/Busteadck
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
vendor_id : CyrixInstead
stepping : 2.5
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 3145729
^^^^^^^^
wp : yes
flags : fpu
bogomips : 119.60

Looks like a static string is getting overwritten. I took a brief look at
the code, but nothing jumped out at me. FWIW, the boot messages are
correct:

Jul 11 09:08:37 cy kernel: Linux version 2.1.109 (hirsch@cy) (gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)) #1 Sat Jul 11 08:43:34 EDT 1998
Jul 11 09:08:37 cy kernel: Console: colour VGA+ 80x25
Jul 11 09:08:37 cy kernel: Calibrating delay loop... 119.60 BogoMIPS
Jul 11 09:08:37 cy kernel: Memory: 63160k/65536k available (908k kernel code, 392k reserved, 1032k data, 44k init)
Jul 11 09:08:37 cy kernel: Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode... Ok.
Jul 11 09:08:37 cy kernel: CPU: Cyrix 6x86 2x Core/Bus Clock stepping 2.5

Thanks again for your efforts, and I'll be glad to test any fixes.

Steve
