Comment(by v):

 > The Question is: Are we need this BeOS legacy numerical identifiers? May
 be only brand string will be enough?
 In my opinion, a good question for post-R1 development. Maybe some more
 people have an opinion on this.
 (I hope by relying on Brand Strings only, you don't mean using them
 without modification. Considering the amount of junk Intel (for example)
 puts in them, that would be very ugly.)

 Now, regarding the original bugreport, I don't have a up-to-date haiku
 tree to create a patch to fix it with get_cpuid_model_string(). So if
 someone thinks Brand IDs are the way to go, I think bringing the issue up
 on the haiku-development mailinglist might be the way to go (or go right
 ahead and do it if you have commit permissions).
