Yep, I agree, comitted as r6151 resuing your ack. I moved all those
selects to the socket, and changed the model_10xxx to do the same (it
already had the select in model_10xxx, not in the sockets).

Nope, no other reason, I just wanted to save a few lines. I agree
consistency across all sockets/CPUs is much more important here, though.
