However, I think there is also a line in qemu.mk that should be removed
(describing the mapping from BR arches to qemu arches).
Also, perhaps add a legacy entry? Even though BR2_x86_i386 is a member of a
choice, that fact is not visible in the .config so it can be added as a normal
bool option to the Config.in.legacy.
