Could you test Miod's second diff please? You've found a bug with an easy solution, it would be nice to get that fixed. This cpu is just not clearing the ecx register when cpuid is called, so it has the old value (part of the vendor name). This diff just makes sure it's cleared first - there should be no downside, but it would be nice to confirm that it works as expected.
