[Bug libc/9948] New: Add support for AT_BASE_PLATFORM in LD_SHOW_AUXV


A new entry to the auxv, called AT_BASE_PLATFORM, was added in kernel 2.6.27, in
order to address a problem that may happen in IBM Power systems running in
'compatibility' mode (see this post in the LKML for more details -
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.1/3708.html).

When using LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 in those newer kernels, AT_BASE_PLATFORM shows as an
unknown entry, instead of displaying the correct platform microarchitecture.

A patch for this will follow shortly.
