Subject[PATCH 1/4] x86: Fix misnamed AMD CPUID feature bit
Date
The AMD SSE5 feature set as-it has been replaced by some extensions
to the AVX instruction set. Thus the bit formerly advertised as SSE5
is re-used for one of these extensions (XOP).
Although this changes the /proc/cpuinfo output, it is not user visible, as
there are no CPUs (yet) having this feature.
To avoid confusion this should be added to the stable series, too.
