This is an RFC patch.
The modern Linux kernel supports every known POWERPC CPU so when
it boots, it can always find a matching cpu_spec from the cpu_specs array.
However if the kernel is quite old, it may be missing the definition of
the actual CPU. To provide ability for old kernels to work

Well, since we cannot change CPU class on the fly, yes, it should be a
