kernel/linux: prepare for arch whose kenel name is not the standard name

For some architectures, the kernel architecture name is not the common
name of the architecture for other tools.

For example: ARM 64-bit is commonly referenced as aarch64, but the kernel
calls it arm64.

MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,

     5
for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make

     9
sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions

from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,

    11
the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels

were only passing -mno-spe by default."
