NAK.

We don't really have names for the different cpu families. "Montecito"
is definitely not the right string to apply here (Montvale will also
have family == 0x20).  The old McKinley/Madison strings are intended
to provide some information for old processors where PAL did not
support PAL_BRAND_INFO.  All new cpus (from Montecito onward) will
support this PAL call, so there should be no need to add more code to
make names out of [family,model] tuples.
