To be honest, we do need ONE standardised entry in /proc/cpuinfo which is the one that states what architecture it's referring to. Given that, the rest of it is irrelevant since any code checking it should first check the architecture returned, and ignore the rest if it doesnae understand that much...
Best wishes from Riley.
