Last time, the approach was to do the RHEL approach (ie. lie to RPM
about the architecture level we support).

Two things have changed since then:

* I suspect more of the hardware that don't support -v2 have failed
out of use naturally
* RPM now lets us "tell the truth" about what x86_64 sublevel we expect

If we're now starting to have software that *requires* x86_64-v2, then
we should visit this with that idea in mind.
