* A typical table entry would be to match a specific CPU
- * { X86_VENDOR_INTEL, 6, 0x12 }
- * or to match a specific CPU feature
- * { X86_FEATURE_MATCH(X86_FEATURE_FOOBAR) }
+ *
+ * X86_MATCH_VENDOR_FAM_MODEL_FEATURE(INTEL, 6, INTEL_FAM6_BROADWELL,
+ * X86_FEATURE_ANY, NULL);
*
* Fields can be wildcarded with %X86_VENDOR_ANY, %X86_FAMILY_ANY,
- * %X86_MODEL_ANY, %X86_FEATURE_ANY or 0 (except for vendor)
+ * %X86_MODEL_ANY, %X86_FEATURE_ANY (except for vendor)

+ * asm/cpu_device_id.h contains a set of useful macros which are shortcuts
+ * for various common selections. The above can be shortened to:
+ *
+ * X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(BROADWELL, NULL);
*
* Arrays used to match for this should also be declared using
* MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(x86cpu, ...)
