cover add reporting of SVM flags to /proc/cpuinfo

This small patch series introduces the reporting of the SVM revision, the number of ASIDs and the flags in /proc/cpuinfo on SVM capable AMD processors. The patches are for i386 and for x86_64 architectures.

Right. Its better to mark the array as const. Will wait for more comments and send an updated patch soon.

Thanks,

This patch adds the advanced SVM reporting to /proc/cpuinfo on the x86_64 architecture.

Adding more fields to /proc/cpuinfo is always somewhat risky because there are lots of badly written parsers for it.

I considered adding the SVM fields myself, but decided against it because it didn't seem generally useful enough.

Agreed. I'm more than happy to take patches to x86info however :)

Can you point me to some really broken parsers of /proc/cpuinfo to test with?

I don't see that this is less important than the power flags in that file. Some users might be interested to see if their processor has npt for example by simply looking into cpuinfo.
As I said, would be interested to know more about these badly written parsers.
