Hi,
I intend to commit the following change, that makes sysctls
hw.machine_arch and hw.machine to return "i386" for 32 bit
binaries run on amd64. In particular, 32 bit uname -m and uname -p
print "i386", that is good for i386 jails on amd64 kernels.

I find the change very useful for me, but I wonder why such trivial
modification is not yet done. Can anybody note a possible fallout from
it ?
