I'm pretty sure we're talking about two different things - I don't understand what you mean about all the exisiting models. Are you saying that with Adrian's patch we still can't simply include this workaround [1] if and only if the user has included Athlon support, rather than CPU<=Athlon?
[1] Obviously the point isn't just applicable to this work around, but this is a new one going in.
