2016-07-01	x86/cpu: Rename "WESTMERE2" family to "NEHALEM_G"	Dave Hansen	1	-1/+1
	Len Brown noticed something was amiss in our INTEL_FAM6_* definitions. It seems like model 0x1F was a Nehalem part, marketed as "Intel Core i7 and i5 Processors" (according to the SDM). But, although it was a Nehalem 0x1F had some uncore events which were shared with Westmere. Len also mentioned he thought it was called "Havendale", which Wikipedia says was graphics-oriented and canceled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalem_(microarchitecture) So either way, it's probably not imporant what we call it, but call it Nehalem to be accurate, and add a "G" since it seems graphics-related. If it were canceled that would be a good reason why it's so sparsely and inconsistently referred to in the code.

2016-06-08	x86/cpu/intel: Introduce macros for Intel family numbers	Dave Hansen	1	-0/+68
	Problem: We have a boatload of open-coded family-6 model numbers. Half of them have these model numbers in hex and the other half in decimal. This makes grepping for them tons of fun, if you were to try. Solution: Consolidate all the magic numbers. Put all the definitions in one header. The names here are closely derived from the comments describing the models from arch/x86/events/intel/core.c. We could easily make them shorter by doing things like s/SANDYBRIDGE/SNB/, but they seemed fine even with the longer versions to me. Do not take any of these names too literally, like "DESKTOP" or "MOBILE". These are all colloquial names and not precise descriptions of everywhere a given model will show up.
