From: Andreas Herrmann Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 13:37:10 +0000 (+0200) Subject: x86, AMD: Remove needless CPU family check (for L3 cache info) X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc1~208^2~6 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d9fadd7ba99a67030783a212bcb17d11f0678433 x86, AMD: Remove needless CPU family check (for L3 cache info) Old 32-bit AMD CPUs (all w/o L3 cache) should always return 0 for cpuid_edx(0x80000006). For unknown reason the 32-bit implementation differed from the 64-bit implementation. See commit 67cddd94799 ("i386: Add L3 cache support to AMD CPUID4 emulation"). The current check is the result of the x86 merge.
