There are 2 drivers that have arrays of packed structures that contain

They are not drivers that are used on PowerPC (I assume), so mark them
to not be built on PPC64 when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled.

😳😳

What's the offending structure in hisilicon? I'd rather have a look
packing structs with pointers in 'em sounds questionable.

I only see these two:

$ git grep packed drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns/hnae.h:struct __packed hnae_desc {
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3_enet.h:struct __packed hns3_desc {
