> The internal enum jdk.internal.util.Architecture does not provide information about the big or little endianness or the address size (64 or 32 bits).  The endian-ness and address size are intrinsic to the architecture.
> 
> The values of the enum are extended to separately identify the big endian and little-endian uses of the ISA.
> For example, `PPC64` and `PPC64LE` for the big and little-endian versions.  
> The enum values directly reflect the build-time artifacts and resulting executables.
> 
> This information about an architecture will make the enum more useful especially to identify a target platform in a cross-platform use case. A method is added to map well known aliases for the platforms to the Architecture enum.

Roger Riggs has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains 12 commits:

 - Refactored test to make it easier to add new Architectures
 - Merge branch 'master' into 8308452-cross-platform-arch
 - Merge branch 'master' into 8308452-cross-platform-arch
 - Remove duplicate import
 - Don't map ppc64le to ppc64 when processing the PlatformProps.java.template
 - Merge branch 'master' into 8308452-cross-platform-arch
 - Correct handling of ppc64le/ppc64 using non-canonical architecture.
   Keep canonical architecture names for s390, amd/x86_64.
