Bug comments restored from Gmane.org: 
 
Currently GetSystemInfo reads the CPU information from /proc/cpuinfo. The 
problem is that this only works on Linux and other x86-based platform only get 
the defaults which are certainly not optimal for current CPUs. 
One potential issue is that pre-586 (or is it pre-486) processors don't support 
the CPUID instruction. But this it not a big issue and can probably be handled 
in some way. 
I have set this bug's platform to FreeBSD but this is just as valid for Solaris x86.

If you want to use CPUID, use an exception handler around the  
instruction which will trigger if it is not there.  
  
Otherwise I do not see a problem to implement it for !Linux x86 systems.
