NACK, needs a v4; this is where we need to fix things to do the right
subdriver mapping. Quoting IRC:

and I know which one to change
[15:30]	jdenemar	eblake: cpu-models should work for both x86 and x86_64 imho
[15:31]	eblake	yep - where the map file lists x86, we need the
cpu-models to support it for both i686 and x86_64
[15:32]	jdenemar	yeah, the x86 in cpu_map.xml is actually a cpu driver
name and the driver has a list of archs it supports
[15:34]	eblake	jdenemar: giuseppe_s used cpuMapLoad(arch, ...) - which
is only doing a literal string match
[15:34]	eblake	so where do we reverse map the driver names in the map
file into actual arch names?
[15:35]	eblake	or, where SHOULD we be doing that mapping?
[15:38]	jdenemar	every cpu api in cpu.c calls cpuGetSubDriver to get the
driver from a real arch
[15:41]	jdenemar	so there should be a high level cpu api that takes a
real arch and gives model names, that should look up the appropriate sub
driver, call its api and it should load its section of cpu_map.xml and
return the list
