Attached is my latest version of this patch. It was made against the
current anaconda/master and applied to 17.29 for testing on F17.

I simplified the hash/lookup by consolidating some machine types, but
I understand this may still be unacceptable. I am currently tracking
master and carrying these patches locally. I keep the rpms in a local
repo for testing.
We are working on a method of exposing the platform in userspace, but
that is not in place yet. Would it be possible to accept this as an
interim solution with the expressed intent that the hash would be
removed as soon as an alternative solution is available? If not,
would a version of this patch with the hash/lookup stubbed out be
acceptable? I would like to get as much of this upstream as possible,
to minimize the patch(es) I need to carry locally and simplify keeping
up with master. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Note: We successfully completed a test kickstart install on an ARM
system today using the modified anaconda-17.29.
