Log Message:
Make COMPAT_NETBSD32 emulate hw.machine. While it might seem wrong to do
so, it introduces breakage because a lot of applications make assumptions
from its value. It's especially bad in the sparc64 case, where 64-bits
instructions can be used in 32-bits addressing mode. However, there are
other means to know the capabilities of the CPU.
32 bit sparc64 kernels should mirror this change.
