make install on ppc

[Jin Qi Huang]

I also think the 'make install' is very useful, now on ia32, the 'make 
install' provided by the latest kernel linux-2.6.16 not only create 
initrd, copy vmlinuz and System.map to /boot directory, but also update 
grub, ppc32 does not provide this useful feature, maybe it is a pity!

I bet a lot of people have typed it, wished it was there, then worked 
around it. That's what I've been doing for a year now.

It doesn't do much - basically it has the proper dependencies and runs 
installkernel with the appropriate arguments (as indicated by `make 
help`).

Thanks
