I'm struggling to follow this a bit. I think these are the facts that matter: * init_udelay=0 means "no quirk" * Modern CPUs don't have the quirk * The current check says "only family 6 is modern" * Family 15 is _probably_ modern and just forgotten about And this is what you're doing in the end: Consider everything PPro and later to be modern, including all of families 6, 15 and the new 18/19 CPUs. Right?
