Hard to get this out of Via, they don't do datasheets for ordinary 
folks, but posts on the newsgroups seem to indicate p6 compatibility in 
some versions anyway:

 From a post in linux.kernel:
cat /proc/cpuinfo:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : CentaurHauls
cpu family      : 6
model           : 8
model name      : VIA C3 Ezra
stepping        : 9
cpu MHz         : 999.910
cache size      : 64 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 1
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow
bogomips        : 1989.22

I'll try the XIP_ROM_SIZE etc tomorrow.
