As a bare minimum requirement the list presented here shall use same names as used in /proc/cpuinfo
On this box I read:
vendor_id : GenuineIntel model name : Pentium III (Coppermine)
This info must be present in Kconfig text (help text) too. I always have trouble selecting the right CPU before so I welcome this patch that give me more info - and maybe a bit too much.
