[parisc-linux] HP-UX binary compatibility

[Helge Deller]

Hi Nathan,

I just verified and the /proc/cpuinfo entry was removed in the meantime.
But with the following code-fragment you will get the right number:

#include <asm/processor.h>
printk("ID: %ld\n", boot_cpu_data.pdc.model.sw_id);

This value is initialized during boot-up in setup.c and comes from the 
PDC_MODEL [pdc_model_info()] syscall.

Greetings,
Helge
