UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) add compat_uts_machine= kernel command line override

We wish to use the arm64 buildds to build armhf binaries in 32bit chroots.
To make this work we need uname to return armv7l machine type.  To achieve
this add a kernel command line override for the 32bit machine type.
Add compat_uts_machine=<type> to allow the LINUX32 personality to return
that type for uname.
