Hi John,

What do you think about sharing the same ppc64.risu file to ppc and ppc64/ppc64le. Then, instead of:

<NAME> PPC64LE 01111...

we'd have:

<NAME> PPC 01111...

So, specific instructions would be:

<NAME> PPC64LE 01111...
<NAME> PPC64 01111...
<NAME> PPC32 01111...

It will allow users to select the arch by using patterns like: ./risugen
--pattern "PPC64*", or --pattern "PPC32*".

Finally, we could rename ppc64.risu to powerpc.risu :).

What do you think?

Thanks
