Not all of them, but most of them, yes.

Probably, that can be a follow on patch.  Maybe a good first patch for Surya.

If the test cases explicitly added -mcpu=, I'm guessing they need them
to test whatever the test case is checking for.  If we remove the -mcpu=
and reply on dg-require has_arch_pwrN or whatever, then the test case
would only run whenever the default flags match that, right?  So it
would seem we'd get less test coverage than before.

It's WAY too easy to miss those, since -mcpu= is such a common option
that we see and use everyday, we almost expect to see it, so it doesn't
look out of place or wrong.

Thanks, commit pushed.  I had not thought about backports, but if it
helps stabilize our test results there, it can't hurt.  I'll have a
look and see if the tests even exist there or not.
