#962: Kernel should report Geode as AMD, not National Semi
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  gnu     |       Owner:  marcelo           
     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new               
 Priority:  low     |   Milestone:  Untriaged         
Component:  kernel  |    Keywords:  National Geode AMD
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Kernel bootup messages and /proc/cpuinfo report that the CPU chip is a
 "Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi" and a "Geode by NSC".
 While it's nice to have a sense of history, Rational Swamiconductor no
 longer makes or supports this chip.   We'd be doing our partner AMD a
 favor by identifying the processor as coming from them.  (Unless, of
 course, they'd prefer NOT to have their brand associated with this
 interesting chip...)
