Remove the "Ampere-1a" part. On newer Ampere Computing systems, the

If I understand correctly, there are old systems without
/sys/.../soc0/machine, right? The change will remove Ampere-1a from
the lscpu output. This sounds backward incompatible.
Thats a good point, but as I understand it, Ampere hasn't been happy
with the string that is there.
If its OK to break whatever scripts/etc might depend on it at the
moment, why not just update the string.
Then invert the check so that the /sys/bus entry is preferred?
