It makes a lot of sense for us on powerpc. Maybe it has to do with a
longer tradition of using device trees versus opaque machine IDs -- I don't
think the hardware itself makes any substantial difference. Currently we
end up having everything pretend to be an mpc8544ds (with some differences
described by the guest device tree that the user feeds in), which is ugly.
