This patch makes it possible to build kernels for PReP and/or CHRP

It's now also possible to select PReP and CHRP independently.
Powermac users should now build with ARCH=powerpc instead of
ARCH=ppc.

This patch doesn't actually remove all the powermac files under
arch/ppc, but they could go.

This means, BTW, that it will no longer be possible to build 32-bit
kernels for Apple G5 machines.  Also, miboot users (are there any
still?) are out of luck until I move the miboot stuff over to
arch/powerpc/boot.

Can we please make arch/powerpc the defaul for native builds with uname
== ppc now that all interesting workstation class machines are supported
better by arch/powerpc?  Else this patch will be rather painfull for
those building their own kernels.
