cpufake 0.1

This is a completely pointless module whose purpose is to change the CPU model name in /proc/cpuinfo. I wrote this for a client who was unpleased not to see the real CPU name when running under a virtual machine. Whatever...

Installation:

• make
• make install

(make install may fail if your kernel has never been recompiled, in which case you can just keep the cpufake.ko file around.

Usage:

• modprobe cpufake (Or if make install failed, insmod cpufake.ko)
• echo -n "My UltraCool new Processor model" >/sys/modules/cpufake/parameters/cpuname
