Version 2:

Incorporating suggested changes from Robert Richter.

Back when the patch was submitted for "Add Xeon 7500 series support to
oprofile", Robert Richter had asked for a followon patch that converted all the
CPU ID values to hex.

I have done that here for the "i386/core_i7" and "i386/atom" class
processors in the ppro_init() function and also added some comments on
where to find documentation on the Intel processors.
