I am not sure what you mean by "machine type".  For itrace the
implementation only deals with its own architecture (e.g. the intel_pt
pmu is only on Intel architecture) so it is not necessary to record
the architecture.

is_64_bit corresponds to ELFCLASS64 (vs ELFCLASS32) which is needed
to determine whether the instruction set is 64-bit.  That should
work for other architectures too.
