deb-pkg: Add support for powerpc little endian

From: Michael Neuling <hidden>
Date: 2014-09-05 05:28:52
Also in: linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

The Debian powerpc little endian architecture is called ppc64le.  This
is the default architecture used by Ubuntu for powerpc.

The below checks the kernel config to see if we are compiling little
endian and sets the Debian arch appropriately.
