    I'd be quite happy with "architecture" being a multiple-part field. This
    is an issue for the ARM as well. So you could have "arch: sparc/sun4m" or
    "arch: arm/arm4". Conceivably the m68k people might want to distinguish
    Amigas from Ataris or something, and the Alpha guys might want
    LCA/CIA/whatever. It's only really the Intel case where the hardware is
    so heterogeneous that "i386" is all you need to describe the system.
