Constants and helper APIs for dealing with CPU architectures
The constants provide the standard names for all known processor architectures. Many have multiple variants to deal with big-endian vs little-endian modes, as well as 32 vs 64 bit word sizes. These names are chosen to be identical to the architecture names expected by libvirt, so if ever adding new ones, ensure it matches libvirt’s expectation.
