Boris, 
from your emails it looks like you are putting together the final version.  I
have recently (this morning) found out I need to add another family model to
the affected processor list.  Do you have a branch I could use to make a follow
up patch too?  (or if you are cool with me adding it to my local version and
dealing with any minor fix ups let me know)

thanks,
