extended cpuid level will look like this :

fpu		: yes
fpu_exception	: yes
cpuid level	: 5
wp		: yes
extended cpuid level: 0x80000008
flags		: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe constant_tsc pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl cid

Is this OK ?

Thanks,
