This changelog doesn't _quite_ fit the code. I'd rather it was a bit
more precise. It does not _just_ expand to "numbers beyond 15".

Also, It doesn't _really_ help to have the changelog tell us the
function name. That's why we have diff -p.  How about:

	APIC detection is currently limited to a few specific families
	and will not match the upcoming families >=18.

	Extend the check to include all families 6 or greater. Also
	convert it to a VFM check to make it simpler.

With that changelog tweak:
