[Feature] Add Knights Mill to Intel processors family list

[Piotr Luc]

The patch that introduces KNM CPUID was merged in upstream kernel (avail 4.9-rc2).

That commit doesn't really have any impact on the runtime behavior.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-yakkety' to 'verification-done-yakkety'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-yakkety' to 'verification-failed-yakkety'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

As this patch won't have any impact on the runtime behaviour (comment #1), I will mark this one as verification-done.

Cheers
