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.

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
    10 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
    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
