We currently use the SMBIOS type 1 'family' string to identify Ampere
machines that require a EFI workaround, but this is not broad enough, as
OEMs often put arbitrary names in that field (such as 'Server')
So instead, let's use the SMBIOS type 4 records that describe the actual
CPU rather than the system.
