Sorry, I'm still lost. If the user specified i386:p4 then I think they
should get all the features specified in the P4 ISA doco. Separate to
that, the user might decide to configure that P4 so that certain
features (such as xmm) are or are not available or that certain h/w bugs
are or are not present ...
Perhaps BFD's architecture object needs extending to include such info.
