 It seems to me that reassigning this bug to DragonFly guys is yet another
 way to forget about this bug.
 
 I propose the following paradigm
 
     Upstream is correct unless it is _proved_ that it is not.
 
 That is I propose to revert 'uname -m -> uname -p' change now.
 
 I don't know exactly but I think under DragonFlyBSD
 'uname -m' works just like it does under FreeBSD
 and under FreeBSD/i386 it works just like qemu upstream expects.
 'uname -m -> i386'
