[PATCH] Set cpu type explicitly, take 2

Here is a revised version of my patch to set the cpu type explicitly
for gcc when compiling the kernel.  Setting the cpu type is a good
idea in any case, and particularly if you have a biarch gcc.  This
sets the type for all of the ppc cpu families we support.

Any further comments?  Are -mcpu=860 and -mcpu=8540 reasonable for 8xx
and 85xx respectively?  I used -mcpu=power4 rather than -mcpu=970
because the former works with gcc-3.6.6 as in debian and the latter
doesn't.  Unfortunately -mcpu=440 doesn't work either in gcc 3.3,
though it does in gcc 3.4 (as does -mcpu=970).

Paul.
