Many of the changelogs that add new vendors here go on about particular
C states declared in the _CST object and contents of CPUID leaf 5.

Why do we even _have_ a vendor check here?  Shouldn't the code just be
going and doing the validation of the _CST object and CPUID that the
changelogs blather on about?

Intel certainly made the original sin on this one (see 991528d7348), but
I hope _something_ changed in the 16 years since that patch went in.
