linprocfs cpuinfo Seems Dated

I was testing recent Linux-only applications, one of them being Bibble
Pro.  Bibble Pro requires at least SSE to function.  Without SSE, it
warns you that SSE is required and then exits.  I looked at
linprocfs.c and it seems that cpuinfo is static; it doesn't actually
read any values, but has set values that it reports.  Is the fix
really as simple as adding sse and sse2 into the flags section?  It
worked, but I'm not sure if it's actually a proper fix.  I've attached
the patch.
