This ends up as Machine: in /proc/cpuinfo, which seems to be normal?

Would it be worth trying to dynamically modify the machine string based
on the actual hardware the kernel is running on?

With CONFIG_PROC_DEVICETREE=y I get the following:

$ cat /proc/device-tree/model
Globalscale Technologies Dreamplug

It seems to me (I have no strong opinion here, just playing devil's
advocate) that /proc/cpuinfo is indeed telling us about the processor
(Marvell Kirkwood ...) Should it really be describing the board?

thx,

Jason.
