/*
 * cpusubtype_findbestarch() is passed a cputype and cpusubtype and a set of
 * fat_arch structs and selects the best one that matches (if any) and returns
 * a pointer to that fat_arch struct (or NULL).  The fat_arch structs must be
 * in the host byte sex and correct such that the fat_archs really points to
 * enough memory for nfat_arch structs.  It is possible that this routine could
 * fail if new cputypes or cpusubtypes are added and an old version of this
 * routine is used.  But if there is an exact match between the cputype and
 * cpusubtype and one of the fat_arch structs this routine will always succeed.
