Which CPU?  ;-)

It might make sense to stick this in the cpu_info structure, but I don't
think it's actually saved anywhere right now.  To get it for the
currently-running CPU, you can use the following code.  The values here
correspond to the definitions in spr.h.

        u_int pvr, vers;

        __asm __volatile ("mfpvr %0" : "=r"(pvr));
        vers = (pvr >> 16) & 0xffff;
