[sldev] CPU detection code

[Dirk Moerenhout]

The issue is mostly that it doesn't identify any recent CPU. It just
gives very generic info resulting in:
Intel Pentium Pro (Unknown model)	146003
AMD (Unknown model)	110162
Intel Pentium 4 (Unknown model)	103905

That's about 70% of the registered CPU's.

It's not too hard to improve upon that but in the end what we really
need is statistics on the features the CPU supports. Just a list with
total cpu's and how many of them support SSE, SSE2 and 3D!Now would do
wonders.
