>Description:
This patch export CPU Physical and Virtual address sizes through the sysctl interface
using do_cpuid function.

It also patch the sys/modules/linprocfs module add this information in the
/usr/compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo output like it's done in Linux /proc/cpuinfo.

More details can be found here: http://people.freebsd.org/~sbz/cpu/
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

Apply the given patch.
