Are these fully separate architectures, or can x86_64_v3 packages
fulfill dependencies on x86_64 packages?

It's not clear to me yet how this new feature is supposed to be used.

(Detection for x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 is not correct because it does
not examine XCR0.  I'm going to file an upstream bug for that.)

Thanks,
