Subject[PATCH v3 1/1] kernel/utsname_sysctl.c: Print kernel arch
Date
Print the machine hardware name (UTS_MACHINE) in /proc/sys/kernel/arch.

This helps people who debug kernel with initramfs with minimal
environment (i.e. without coreutils or even busybox) or allow to open
sysfs file instead of run 'uname -m' in high level languages.

Changes v2->v3:
* fix title in the subject

@Andrew @Eric: FYI previously the sysfs file was in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/, that's why I sent previous versions to Greg.
