Ah, thanks. That helps for NetBSD 5.x as cpuctl reports 
family/model/extended family, but I don't think we get that from dmesg on 
earlier versions. I'm pretty sure Linux and OpenSolaris report them also.

I could rely on the CPU name reported by cpuctl for AMD, which matches 
dmesg in earlier versions, but that would be NetBSD specific. Arrg.

I may just add a fallback table to convert older NetBSD 'cpu names' back to 
family/extended family

So... does anyone have a reference to a table for AMD family/extended 
family codes? :) I could start with the source for cpuctl, but an official 
list would be nice...
