[Yum] Funky arches in vendor RPMs

We have an RPM downloaded from HP where the arch is "amd64".  Gotta love
this, but they also provide one with arch "em64t"  :(

We're trying to install the amd64 one via yum from a repo and it fails.
The primary.xml.gz entry starts like this:
<package type="rpm"><name>hprsm</name><arch>amd64</arch><version
epoch="0" ver="7.3.0" rel="58"/>

If I try "yum install hprsm.amd64" it fails.  If I try "yum install
hprsm.x86_64" it also fails (obviously).

Is there any way to get yum to install this RPM?  Or is yum disregarding
the unknown arch?

Thanks.
