Its not clear if the Esther C5J is the 0x6a0 that was already supported or the 
0x6d0 that is this new CPU.  I couldn't find any docs that explain the CPUID 
steppings for VIA CPUs, do you know of any?

Seemingly this should be for 'c7' rather than 'c5j'?  We use 'c3' for the VIA 
C3 Nehemiah rather than 'c5p'.
