Ian,

I picked this value in the absence of any other suitable value.
There is no formal ELF ABI that would specify such a value,
although I have been working on & off with folks inside of IBM 
(the TJ Watson research center) to create such an ABI.  Clearly,
among the first steps would be to designate a machine type.  

Please let me know who I should contact to get this (and also, 
a type for the binary format) reserved in the most suitably 
official manner possible.
