Well, as long as you're prepared to reduce the list of known supported
platforms to zero as of 7.4beta3, and issue a fresh call for port reports.

But it seems to me that this is mostly a cosmetic cleanup and therefore
not the kind of thing to be doing late in beta.  Couldn't we do
something that affects only Opteron/Itanium and doesn't take a chance
on breaking everything else?
