CPU_FAMILY_I586:
   CPU_MODEL_PENTIUM, CPU_MODEL_K5, CPU_MODEL_K6

CPU_FAMILY_I686:
   CPU_MODEL_PENTIUMPRO, CPU_MODEL_PENTIUMII,
   CPU_MODEL_PENTIUMIIIKATMAI, CPU_MODEL_PENTIUMIIICOPPERMINE,
   CPU_MODEL_ATHLON, CPU_MODEL_DURON

CPU_FAMILY_EXTENDED:
   CPU_MODEL_PENTIUMIV, CPU_MODEL_XEON,
   CPU_MODEL_ATHLON64, CPU_MODEL_OPTERON

CPU_FAMILY_POWERPC:
   CPU_MODEL_POWERPC_x, for x=601-604, 620, 750, 7400, 7450
You can read this variable after you have called check_cpu() (which is automatically called by allegro_init()). Make sure you check the cpu_family and cpu_vendor so you know which models make sense to check.
