Hi Andras,
Alan Cox didn't have the time to include my latest fixes to Cyrix detection
in 2.0.34, and since head.S was "cleaned" of the stub Cyrix 6x86 detection
code, the 6x86 and 6x86(L) don't get detected correctly in 2.0.35.
The attached patch completes the move of the "old" assembler code in head.S to
easier-to-maintain C code, so you should now get correct detection of your 6x86.
The patch should also fix any possible Bogomips problems (courtesy of Richard
Johnson). It has some more goodies, but those won't be activated on the 6x86.
The patch is mostly based on common code Rafael Reilova and I are maintaining
for 2.1.x and 2.0.x kernels, so you will get as good detection on 2.0.x as
you'd get on 2.1.x.
I would appreciate your feedback, positive or negative.
Thanks in advance,
