Subject[PATCH] K6 write allocate - shining new version
Hello.

This is a new version of patch for enabling K6 write allocate - against
2.2.0pre7.

Changes:

* Things are in more appropriate place
* Misnamed amd_model function renamed to amdlike_model_cpuid
* Now the patch should correctly determine (I hope!) the amount of
physical RAM in system and does not try to re-enable write allocate if it's
already enabled by BIOS and BIOS gets some memory for its needs.

P.S. I can add support for K5 & K6-2. Do we need it? (But I cannot test
this support. So if you want support for K5, be ready to test my patches
:) ) For K6-2 probably all modern BIOSes do the appropriate thing by
itself, I guess...
