64bit mips/mipsel kernel will print mips64 here...

... and this tightens the check unnecessarily for mipsel.
Unfortunately I don't know an easier method to check the userland
endianess than file $SHELL, which also needs /usr. debian-installer
developed "archdetect" for finding out the debian (sub-) architecture,
but this is only a .udeb, not installable on a normal system.
