arch/powerpc: add powerpc64le support

Technically, I don't forbid powerpcle support either, but I'm not sure that
there is any library/compiler support for that at the moment (though the hw
technically makes it possible).

powerpc64le needs glibc 2.19 and gcc 4.9. I haven't looked into the support
tools, but at least gdb 7.5 is too old (7.7.1 definitely has support).

Also make powerpc64 non-experimental. It's practically old at this point.

MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,

for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make

sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions

from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,

    11
the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels

were only passing -mno-spe by default."
