Subject: [PATCH 1/1] drivers/base/cpu: Print kernel arch

Print kernel architecture in /sys/devices/system/cpu/arch
using UTS_MACHINE, i.e. member of struct uts_namespace.machine.

This helps people who debug kernel with initramfs with minimal
environment (i.e. without coreutils or even busybox) or allow to open
sysfs file instead of run uname -m in high level languages.
