Well regarding your /proc/cpuinfo format, I think we could fix this problem by just making sure that the very first line of the cpuinfo holds the port name.
Something like:
/proc/cpuinfo: port : {i386,alpha,sparc,ppc,mips}
And then, if people want to parse any of the extra information, they should know the architecture specific information on the CPU before attempting to parse it.
