Subject: [PATCH 5/8] binfmt: Normalize host CPU architecture
Right now information regarding the family each CPU type belongs
to is recorded in two places: the large data table at the top of
the script, and the qemu_host_family() function.
We can make things better by mapping host CPU architecture to
QEMU target in the few cases where the two don't already match
and then using the data table to look up the family, same as
we're already doing for the guest CPU architecture.
Being able to reason in terms of QEMU target regardless of
whether we're looking at the host or guest CPU architecture will
come in handy to implement upcoming changes.
A couple of entries are dropped in the process: BePC and Power
Macintosh. I'm quite certain neither of those have ever been
reported as CPU architectures by Linux. I believe many more of
the entries that are carried forward could be dropped as well,
but I don't have the same level of confidence there so I
decided to play it safe just in case.
