configs/arch: add powerpc64 e6500 arch #12

Closed rc-matthew-l-weber closed 4 years ago

This configuration does not provide a test configuration as full upstream support for the e6500 arch in QEMU is still on a NXP vendor branch. The mainline QEMU as of 2.11 recognizes the e6500 as a new variant of the e500. However the mailing list discusses the user only booting a propietary OS using that emulation. https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-08/msg02176.html

I tried booting linux with QEMU mainline v2.12.0-rc1 and got an "exception without defined vector 73" error after "Freeing unused kernel memory" during Linux 4.15.x boot.

I did however target test a kernel I built using a stable version of the glibc toolchain on a T2080RDB using 4.15.7. (boot to prompt)
