I now changed the value of OPENJDK_TARGET_CPU, the "new" variable that 
we're trying to use in build-infra, for the Intel CPUs to x86 and 
x86_64, respectively. I saw no-one really protesting against my proposal 
earlier, and I got encouragement for this change from various places.

What this does NOT mean:
1) that I neither can nor will change all legacy places where other 
names are used, nor
2) that this is a decision cast in stone. If you don't like it, make 
your voice heard!
