   Is a cpu of this brand id really family 6 and model >= 8?

that's what intel application note 486 says.  the rest of the function
already had special cases for 3 out of the 4 that require it... it may
be that it isn't required - the code paths in identcpu.c aren't exactly
clear, but it seemed to be missing from anywhere else and was consistent
with the other 3 special cases...
   
   # I guess it is better to redefine this function as a function returns
   # cpu name for modern cpu and returns NULL if unknown.

possibly.... i just noticed the inconsistency and fixed it.
