Within Ubuntu Home Screen "System setting -> details", processor details were coming as null.
It seems those details are retrieved from "model name" in /proc/cpuinfo and
because of check for 32 bit tasks only, "model name" was not getting displayed.
On removing this check for model name, processor details are getting displayed in
Ubuntu Home Screen.
I think model name field is general and can be displayed irrespective of compatibility.
Please suggest if I am missing anything.
