I'm ok not doing this for x86. The hwcap word is totally useless
for x86_64, and next to useless for i686. Users will have to go
to the other cpuid words for anything interesting anyway.
At the moment there are only 4 ifunc targets: x86, sparc, ppc, arm.
And my aim is to fix all of them up. So it'll be x86 that's the
only exception.
