ia64 is a dead host architecture and doesn't exist in any OS distro that
we target anymore, so I don't think we need to consider it.

Likewise parisc/hppa doesn't seem exist in Debian since Squeeze, so I
think we can rule that out too.

Only sh4 still seems to be supported in Debian. I expect the primary
need there is for sh4 guest support rather than sh4 host support.
