We do support machine-specific builtins, and they are in use on
a number of targets.

I'd rather go with the builtins, really.

The looking up scheduling classes in a table doesn't mesh particulaly
well with what is on the dfa-scheduler-branch.

How do you handle cases in which different cpu implementations have
very different pipelines, and so one scheduling class name doesn't 
map well between the implementations?
