[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: Set default CPU type to POWER8 for little endian builds

[Anton Blanchard]

From: Anton Blanchard <anton at samba.org>

We supported POWER7 CPUs for bootstrapping little endian, but the
target was always POWER8. Now that POWER7 specific issues are
impacting performance, change the default target to POWER8.
