Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e. both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.

armv8 implementations may have 64B or 128B cache line.
Setting to the maximum available cache line size in generic config to
address minimum DMA alignment across all arm64 implementations.
Increasing the cacheline size has no negative impact to cache invalidation
on systems with a smaller cache line.
The need for the minimum DMA alignment has impact on functional aspects
of the platform so default config should cater the functional aspects.
There is an impact on memory usage with this scheme, but that's not too
important for the single image arm64 distribution use case.
The arm64 linux kernel followed the similar approach for single
arm64 image use case.
