Well, UEFI has the habit of having their own architecture
names, which is where this comes from ...

  i386 -> ia32
  x86_64 -> x64
  aarch64 -> aa64

Luckily they stopped doing so, new architectures like riscv
and loongarch kept their name in the UEFI universe, so going
forward this confusion should at least not become worse than
it already is.

take care,
