I like arch_status, I proposed but no other arch shows interesting in it.

I think the problem is similar for x86_status, it does not make sense for
those x86 platform without AVX512 to have an empty arch file. I personally
don't like [arch]_status because the code may become unclean if more arches
added in future.

Maybe it's too early to have a separated arch staff file for now.
