Thanks! Merged to master as of a1c7f3e.
I dropped the ppc64le archetecture requirement as everything *should*
run on ppc64 (Big Endian) as well, even if literally nobody supports
that in a shipping product :)
I also added a note to the documentation that some systems look for this
path, so that's *hopefully* a hint enough to us that we should never
change the path to that node unless we're on purpose breaking old
opal-prd apps.
