ACK.

I finished the job with the following.
That exposed another binary difference (which is fine):

-    if (STRNEQ(str, "linux"))
+    if (STREQ(str, "hvm"))
         hvm = 1;

I automatically changed most uses of STRN?EQLEN (e.g.,
-        STRNEQLEN((const char *)target, "hd", 2) &&
+        !STRPREFIX((const char *)target, "hd") &&
to uses of STRPREFIX.  That matched all of yours and caught a few more,
so you might want to run the last two conversions to keep them all
together.
