Subject: [PATCH v2 02/17] x86/smpboot: Fix INIT delay optimization for extended Intel Families

Currently only Family 6 is considered as modern and avoids the 10 msec
INIT delay. The optimization doesn't extend to the upcoming Family 18/19
models.

Also, the omission of Family 15 (Pentium 4s) seems like an oversight and
should probably be included in the modern check as well.

Choose a simpler check and extend the optimization to all Intel
processors Family 6 and beyond.
