Opteron CPU misidentified as 80386.

Hello,

             The AMD64 architecture is mistakenly identified as a 386.  
I'm not yet sure if this is what is stopping OpenBSD from installing on 
my system, but either way, this probably is a problem for all platforms 
with AMD64 cpus.  It would make sense to identify it an Athlon as I'm 
assuming that's its closest sibling.  I would give you a dmesg, but I 
can't.  If nobody has an Opteron to test the kernel patch with, I'll 
test it.  I'm pretty sure there might be "legacy" code associated with a 
386 that an Opteron or any newer CPU might bark at.

Jaimie.
