More AMD Zen 6 CPU models supported in Linux 7.1 RC7!

The upcoming release candidate of Linux 7.1, which is expected to be the last one, has seen some interesting changes that happened to the kernel and its components. One of those changes was that more AMD Zen 6 CPU models are now supported, starting from the seventh release candidate of Linux 7.1.

Linux used to recognize the following models as AMD Zen 6 in Family 26:

Model 80 to 95 (0x50 -> 0x5f)
Model 128 to 175 (0x80 -> 0xaf)
Model 192 to 207 (0xc0 -> 0xcf)

The new patch, which made it to this release candidate, expands the list of supported models to Model 239 (0xef). Some of those models that are now supported are just engineering parts and custom SKUs, though, and this expansion of supported models is good to ease support for those new models.

This is necessary for upcoming Ryzen and EPYC processors, which are expected to be unveiled later. This change, however, is part of a larger patch that consists of “x86 fixes” that were made, which is fairly small.
