Can you make that arch agnostic? eg:

This obviously needs a bit of work to support other arches. I'm thinking we use
uname -m to do a top level switch? eg:

  ARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/ppc.*/powerpc/)
  
  if [ "$ARCH" == "x86_64" ] || [ "$ARCH" == "i386" ]; then
          S=$(awk '/^vendor/              { V=$3 }
                   /^model/ && $2 == ":"  { M=$3 }
                   /^cpu family/          { F = $4 }
                   END                    { printf("%s-%s-%X", V, F, M) }' /proc/cpuinfo)
  elif [ "$ARCH" == "powerpc" ]; then
          ...
  fi

I'm not 100% sure, but I think we will want to use our PVR register as the
lookup key. That's just a hex value, with major and minor versions.

To make that work I think we will want a loop in the map lookup to handle
chopping off the low bits.

So for example it would check the MAPFILE for:
  003e0301
  003e030
  003e03
  003e0

etc.

So we might need another arch specific chunk in there.

cheers
