Based on patches from Mike Frysinger, add insmod support for
sparc and ia64 (itanium).
Also, reorganize the insmod architecture support code to be
alphasorted and less messy.
Update the readme to list current insmod arch support.

Full functionality requires Linux 2.2.x or better. A large fraction of the

Linux specific, it should be fairly easy to port the majority of the code
