Unless I'm mistaken,
pbe comes from cpuid level 1
3dnow comes from cpuid level 0x80000001
though I did notice that amd have it in edx, whilst via have it in ecx
curiously.
edx is correct.
What you're describing is correct for later-level AMD/Cyrix chips,
however, when 3DNow! was first introduced they foolishly squatted on the
Intel-assigned CPUID flags.
However, I have audited all the vendor initialization paths, and we kill
off that CPUID bit in all the places that matter.
