Description kbyanc 1999-10-20 20:20:01 UTC 
  identcpu.c doesn't appear to check for K7's processor identification. It is
rumored to recognize the K7 (I don't know, I don't have one; see
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=296945+0+current/freebsd-current)

  In any event, this is a short patch which I feel confident will do the job
(there isn't much to go wrong :) ). Someone with a K7 should check that MTRRs
get enabled and maybe write-allocate too.

  If this patch and i386/14438 are applied, everything about the K7 should
be recognized by FreeBSD.

identcpu.c just reads the model string right out of the CPU instead of 
trying to key against a cpuid.  Therefore this patch is not needed.
