[virt-tools-list] [virt-what PATCH] Determine architecture via 'uname -m'

'uname -p' only gives unknown on x86_64, i386, arm6l (rpi) and aarch64
(scaleways).

It doesn't matter that much these days since cpuid is used most of the
time but it's better to have this fixed (or remove the whole uname based
code).
