i3255 happens to be one of the industrial processors in family 17h models
01h through 08h.  These are potentially used at subzero temperatures and
so displaying negative numbers makes a lot sense.

So I think the commit message needs to be be amended to better explain that.

I guided Kannan against leaving a comment in the code with specific models
because it either won't age well as other industrial processors are
introduced or may need to be ping-ponged each time.

But perhaps it should be more generic like:

/* Industrial processors may be used at sub zero temperatures */
