If it's still i386, then according to the "new" definition of these
MIBs, we should change it to pc98.

Yes, I ment machdep.ispc98. The MIB changed from hw.ispc98 to
machdep.ispc98 and I was looking at Kato's commit log at the time.

Both MIBs (ie hw.machine and machdep.ispc98) serve the same purpose
as far as I can see, so we should be able to remove one of them
(preferably machdep.ispc98).

I checked the ports collection and at this time there're no ports
that use the machdep.ispc98 sysctl variable.
