Oprofile: Change CPUIDS from decimal to hex, and add some comments
commit 45c34e05c4e3d36e7c44e790241ea11a1d90d54e upstream. 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.
