   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.
