instruction generation for e500 based PPC cores in commit

The unknown reason was that my PPC64 failed to compile without it ;-) It was unknown because I forgot to mention that in the change log (my bad).
On Monday, I'll apply this patch and make sure that my PPC64 still compiles.

We are removing it because:
1. It generates e500 kernels that don't work
2. its not the correct set of flags to do this
3. we handle this in the arch/powerpc/Makefile already
4. its unknown in talking to Steven why he did this
