It think we should just remove this entry. AFAIK padlock(4) recognized
also VIA C7 CPUs before, there was just no information about this in the
manual page. Michael, can you confirm this?

If VIA C7 was not recognized by padlock(4) from 6.0/6.1, we should add
the info you proposed:

The padlock(4) driver now supports the AES encryption functions of the
VIA C7 processor.
