Why print out a "generic" message?
I think it just means "not-stepping-specific"
I like your verbage alot better than "generic". Or even "default" would be better than "generic".
So, any native speakers with a good suggestion how the text should read out there?
"Using not-stepping-specific cpu ops" sounds odd.
"Using default cpu ops" is about as wrong as "Using generic cpu ops" because they're neither generic nor default.
Maybe this?
printk(BIOS_DEBUG, "CPU: Using CPU ops for family %02x, model %02x (ignoring stepping %02x)\n", c.x86, c.x86_model, c.x86_mask);
Or we just remove the message all together.
I'll gladly ack a patch.
I say we remove it all togethor. Especially with a socket like the 370 where it has so many compatible cpu's and I am going to use 6*0 on all the different models.
