This version is a lot more specific (but still allows future
flexibility). I see a world of bike-shedding if I try to come
up with a naming scheme to fix previous questionable naming
choices ... I'm not going to open that can of worms.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpu: Explain Intel model naming convention

Dave Hansen spelled out the rules in an e-mail:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/91eefbe4-e32b-d762-be4d-672ff915db47@intel.com

Copy those right into the <asm/intel-family.h> file to
make it easy for people to find them.
