Linux 2.4.1 thinks my Cyrix 6x86 P166 is a 486-class machine

[Anthony Fok]

Hello,

Linux 2.4.1 (and 2.4.2-pre1) thinks my Cyrix 6x86 P166+ is a i486-class
machine. (It is a i586-class CPU.)  2.4.0 didn't recognize the
model name; 2.4.1 fixed that, but I guess the cpu family part may need
fixing too.

$ uname -a
Linux lovelife 2.4.2-pre1 #2 Mon Feb 5 21:26:22 MST 2001 i486 unknown

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : CyrixInstead

coma_bug        : yes
fpu             : yes

wp              : yes
flags           : cyrix_arr

I'm running Debian 2.2r2 plus some updated packages on this machine.

Thanks for your help.

Anthony
