make ppc64le_defconfig

yes, it builds && boots just fine.
the host is a p8 powernv system , the qemu command line is as below:
qemu-system-ppc64 -m 64g -smp 16,cores=4,threads=4 --enable-kvm  -nographic -net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup-nat,downscript=/etc/qemu-ifdown-nat  Downloads/Fedora-Cloud-Base-38-1.6.ppc64le.qcow2

I will try other test configures as well.
