Well the base mechanism can work with either (AT_HWCAP or AT_PLATFORM).
But for powerpc, AT_PLATFORM is not included in the Aux vector. So until
the powerpc kernel supports AT_PLATFORM there is not much point.
And this is the justification to add something which will go away once
the real solution is available? That's just plain stupid.
