If the machine does not provide a choice to use or not use the MMU then
it makes no sense to take that into account for the package arch (think
bfin or i586 or certain coldfires/m68k), yes. If, OTOH, a machine
supports it (let's say ppc) then there must at least be a nice way to
distinguish ppc<endian><mmu><floatingpoint> i would have hoped.
