SubjectRe: [2.1.105] Cyrix 6x86 reduced to 486

It's only the original 6x86 that doesn't have CPUID enabled
by default. Back when it was produced CPUID was still a fairly
new Intel thing and I suspect the feeling was that there might
be broken code out there that assumed anything that responded
to CPUID was a Pentium.
