The reason I put it all these comments here is because it took us a 
while to discuss what to do with this file going forward. There were 
some confusions.  Therefore, I just want to document it here.

Also, the check for (boot_cpu_data.x86 > 0x11) was needed because it 
should not be done for family15h.
