Hm, maybe I should go about this the other way around.

Of our current architectures, I'd say that the following are too old and
too server-focused when they existed to have NVIDIA graphics cards:

    alpha hppa ia64 sparc

and the following exist only on hardware that is fairly unlikely to have
NVIDIA GPUs:

    s390

So that leaves:

    i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 armel mips mipsel powerpc

mips was the one that the original bug report was asking us to remove, so
I'd be inclined to pull mips and mipsel and leave the rest.  I'm not sure
armel should be there, but I can possibly see someone making a netbook
with an NVIDIA GPU and an arm chip.
