Unfortunately, the world is not this easy, e.g. POWER5 doesn't have
all the features that Cell and 970 have (or vice versa), and PA6T
doesn't fit in here either.
If you want to model this correctly, you need to have each CPU
as a separate option, and then deduce the feature set from that,
like:
menuconfig "CPU selection"
config MIN_POWER3
bool "Power 3 support"
config MIN_POWER4
bool "Power 4 support"
config MIN_CELL
bool "Cell Broadband Engine support"
and so on. All this has nothing to do with the tuning option,
except that you may want to make sure a CPU is enabled if you
want to be able to tune for it.

If you know exactly what CPUs are supported, you can do this
automatically: Altivec works only on G4 (mpc74xx and mpc86xx),
G5 (970), Cell, Power6 and PA6T.

Similarly, VSX is available only on Power6.
