Subject: arch/i386/profile/nmi_init.c question .....
Hello,

      In arch/i386/profile/nmi_init.c/nmi_init, why is there a check for 
cpu_model > 3? I am failing this test on a dual_core Intel processor and 
hence running in "timer interrupt" mode with OProfile. I have no access to 
the rich assortment of performance registers. Why the cpu_model > 3 test??

Regards, Vasya
