For status programs that wish to detect what sort of processor they
are running on, does anybody have the scoop on official detection
procedure for an 80486?   Assuming, for example, that one already knows
that one is on a 386 or better.  I already have code to detect
8086, 8088, 80186, 80286, 80386, 8087, 80287 and 80387 -- I want to make
it complete.
