it tries to do that, but the detection logic isn't finished.

It's related to bug #214441 and to bug #228252 (this one should be
closed I think, I will test it tomorrow), and bug #229062, bug #229570.

Anyway, it's not that easy to find the correct kernel.

I don't thing it's a good idea to parse model name, it's may be a better
idea to use cpu family and model.

If anyone knows the logic between cpuinfo and kernel packages, please
tell :)

Otherwise, I will be apply to receive a lot of /proc/cpuinfo to
determine this logic ( please tell me which kernel works for your
cpuinfo).

Thanks
