Thanks!

It compiles and boots fine on my c3k:
| model   00005bb0 00000481 00000000 00000002 780cd400 100000f0 00000008 000000b2 000000b2
| CPUID   vers 17 rev 4
| model   9000/785/C3000
| led_init: CPU_HVERSION 5bb
...
| 6. AllegroHigh W  (0) at 0xfffa0000, versions 0x5bb, 0x0, 0x4, 0x0, 0x81
...

(I hadn't noticed we were already printing model string...cool.
I guess it time to start cleaning up boot output.)

I see. You are right.

The only way to do that is get regular updates from the maintainer
of "Appendix B". hmmm...but there are some issues with this. Updates
*aren't* regular and only "private" versions of the appendix B is
maintained. The appendix is hand filtered for public consumption to
exclude products which haven't released yet. So we'll just have to
keep grinding along like we do now...complain if something shows
up as "unknown" and it's got a IODC data.

thanks,
