Can we use separate macro for this. i.e. ICPU() ?

Perhaps at some point we might switch to set of generic ICPU()-like
macros.

Moreover, it seems you may change it to use only one existing structure

ICPU(model, hid)

I don't like this. It looks a bit hackish. If we need more, than one hid
per CPU, we might just supply an array

ICPU(model, hids)
