Description
```
I have a new Haswell Core i7-4770k processor. Here's what i7z says:
i7z DEBUG: Found Intel Processor
i7z DEBUG: Stepping 3
i7z DEBUG: Model c
i7z DEBUG: Family 6
i7z DEBUG: Processor Type 0
i7z DEBUG: Extended Model 3
i7z DEBUG: msr = Model Specific Register
i7z DEBUG: detected a newer model of ivy bridge processor
i7z DEBUG: my coder doesn't know about it, can you send the following info to
him?
i7z DEBUG: model c, extended model 3, proc_family 6

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report using the supplied Intel Core i7-4770K and /proc/cpuinfo details, then trace the processor-detection entry point that currently identifies model 60 as Ivy Bridge. Done means Haswell is recognized correctly and the existing detection output no longer reports it as an unknown newer Ivy Bridge model.
