The SC1100 does not have a companion chip - all the (non-video)
functions of the 55x0 are on the SC1100 die.

So the current test in identcpu() should really use the PCI vendor and
device ids of the Cyrix 5510/5520 rather then the fact that we are
running on a GX type CPU?

Hmmm.. Can we create a kernel option to override this behaviour?
