Hmm, I'm not sure what Opteron will report - I'll check up on this 
tomoorow when the guys working on it are in.

sparcv9 is the ISA - see 'isainfo'.  The particular CPU can run in 
either sparcv9 (LP64) mode or sparc (LP32) mode.

UltraSPARC-IIe is the CPU implementation, sun4u is the machine hardware 
class.  You could see UltraSPARC-IIe in a different HW type.
