 First, i386 was a bad name  (it should have been called x86, or ia32),
 let's not redo the same mistake.

 Second, cortex is not a minimum CPU, it's a particular implementation.
 Cortex-A implies ARMv7, but you can be ARMv7 without being a Cortex-A
 implementation (e.g. QCM snapdragon isn't, Marvell Dove isn't).
