It defaults to the per arch agreed common minimal baseline needed for DPDK to reasonable work. That might not be the most optimized, but the most portable version while still being able to support the CPU features required for DPDK. Going forward this can be bumped up by the DPDK project, but it can never be an invariant like 'native'. Distributions and other needing portable code are expected to define the machine as 'baseline'.
